Object Description

• Authentication Method Authentication Method can be set to one of the following values:

None: authentication is disabled and login is not possible.

local: use the local user database on the switch stack for
authentication.

RADIUS: use a remote RADIUS server for authentication.

TACACSt+: use a remote TACACS+ server for authentication.

This is only possible if the Authentication Method is set to something else than
'none or 'local'.
