Authentication Profiles
In addition to access profiles, you can configure authentication for either the
console or network management access method.
For these access methods, user authentication can occur:
•Locally
• Via an external server,
such as a TACACS+ or a RADIUS server
User authentication occurs in the order that the methods are selected, for
example, if both the Local and RADIUS options are selected, the user is
authenticated first locally. If the local user database is empty, the user is
authenticated via the RADIUS server.
If an error occurs during the authentication, the next selected method is
used.
If an authentication method fails, or the user has an insufficient privilege
level, the user is denied access to the switch. The switch then stops, does not
continue, and does not attempt to use the next authentication method.
User authentication can also be set to None
,
in which case no authentication
is performed.
The process of configuring authentication for management access methods is
divided into the following stages:
• Create an authentication profile, as described below
• Assign an authentication profile to a management method, as described in
Select Authentication
To create an authentication profile:
