Allowing Users to Specify a RADIUS Server at Login
By default, the Cisco NX-OS device forwards an authentication request based on the default AAA authentication
method. You can configure the Cisco NX-OS device to allow the user to specify a VRF and RADIUS server
to send the authentication request by enabling the directed-request option. If you enable this option, the user
can log in as
username@vrfname:hostname
, where
vrfname
is the VRF to use and
hostname
is the name of
a configured RADIUS server.
If you enable the directed-request option, the Cisco NX-OS device uses only the RADIUS method for
authentication and not the default local method.
Note
User-specified logins are supported only for Telnet sessions.
