Overview of Access Security Features
The access security features covered in this guide include:
■ Local Manager and Operator Passwords (page 2-1): Control
access and privileges for the CLI, menu, and Web browser interfaces.
■ TACACS+ Authentication (page 4-1): Uses an authentication appli-
cation on a server to allow or deny access to a switch.
■ RADIUS Authentication and Accounting (page 5-1): Like
TACACS+, uses an authentication application on a central server to
allow or deny access to the switch. RADIUS also provides accounting
services for sending data about user activity and system events to a
RADIUS server.
■ Secure Shell (SSH) Authentication (page 6-1): Provides
encrypted paths for remote access to switch management functions.
■ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) (page 7-1): Provides remote Web
access to the switch via encrypted authentication paths between the
switch and management station clients capable of SSL/TLS operation.
