authenticated by a remote RADIUS server, you need to configure the related user
names and passwords on the RADIUS server and perform RADIUS client-related
configuration on the switches.
z If you specify to adopt a local authentication scheme, you need to configure user
names and passwords manually on the switches. Users can pass the
authentication through 802.1x client if they provide the user names and passwords
that match with those stored in the switches.
