Usage guidelines
You can specify one authentication method and one backup authentication method to use in case that
the previous authentication method is invalid.
If you specify a scheme to provide the method for user role switching authentication, the method applies
only to users whose user role is in the format of level-n.
• If an HWTACACS scheme is specified, the device uses the entered username for role switching
authentication. The username must already exist on the HWTACACS server to represent the highest
user level to be switched to. For example, to switch to a level-3 user role whose username is test, the
device uses test@domain-name or test for role switching authentication, depending on whether the
domain name is required.
