Usage Guide:
The authentication method for Console, VTY and Web login can be configured respectively. And authentication
method can be any one or combination of Local, RADIUS and TACACS. When login method is configuration in
combination, the preference goes from left to right. If the users have passed the authentication method,
authentication method of lower preferences will be ignored. To be mentioned, the user can login as long as a
authentication method is passed. AAA function and RADIUS server should be configured before the RADIUS
authentication can be used.
The authentication line console login command is exclusive with the login command. The authentication line
console login command configures the switch to use the Console login method. And the login command makes the
Console login to use the passwords configured by the password command for authentication.
