LABEL DESCRIPTION
Authentication Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users
accessing the Switch.
Privilege
Enable
These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second
and third) to authenticate access privilege level for administrator
accounts (users for Switch management).
Configure the access privilege of accounts via commands for local
authentication. The TACACS+ and RADIUS are external servers. Before
you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
You can specify up to three methods for the Switch to authenticate the
access privilege level of administrators. The Switch checks the methods
in the order you configure them (first Method 1, then Method 2 and
finally Method 3). You must configure the settings in the Method 1
field. If you want the Switch to check other sources for access privilege
level specify them in Method 2 and Method 3 fields.
Select local to have the Switch check the access privilege configured for
local authentication.
Select radius or tacacs+ to have the Switch check the access privilege
via the external servers.
Login These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second
and third) to authenticate administrator accounts (users for Switch
management).
Configure the local user accounts in the Access Control > Logins
screen. The TACACS+ and RADIUS are external servers. Before you
specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
You can specify up to three methods for the Switch to authenticate
administrator accounts. The Switch checks the methods in the order you
configure them (first Method 1, then Method 2 and finally Method 3).
You must configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the
Switch to check other sources for administrator accounts, specify them in
Method 2 and Method 3 fields.
Select local to have the Switch check the administrator accounts
configured in the Access Control > Logins screen.
Select radius to have the Switch authenticate the administrator
accounts through a RADIUS server.
Select tacacs+ to have the Switch authenticate the administrator
accounts through a TACACS+ server.
Accounting Use this section to configure accounting settings on the Switch.
Update Period This is the amount of time in minutes before the Switch sends an update
to the accounting server. This is only valid if you select the start-stop
option for the Exec or Dot1x entries.
