Use this drop-down list box to select which database the switch should use (first) to
authenticate an administrator (user for switch management).
Local user accounts can be configured via the Access Control Logins screen or
via the commands. The commands allow you to configure different levels of
privilege. See Section 30.6 on page 183 for more information on creating accounts
via commands.
You can also configure user accounts and privileges on a RADIUS server. The
RADIUS is an external server. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have
set up the corresponding database correctly first.
Select Local Only to have the switch just check the administrator accounts
configured in the Access Control Logins screen or via commands.
Select Local then RADIUS to have the switch check the accounts configured in the
Access Control Logins screen or commands. If the user name is not found, the
switch then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server. You need to
configure Port Authentication Radius first.
Select RADIUS Only to have the switch just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a login username, password and privilege level.
