Authentication Mode
The authentication can be performed locally and remotely using Radius or authentication server. It has 5
authentication modes which are Local, RADIUS, RADIUS->Local, TACPLUS, and TACPLUS->Local. The default
authentication method is Local method, where it works for multi user authentication that has been explained above.
RADIUS
The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol was developed by Livingston Enterprises as an
access server authentication and accounting protocol. The RADIUS server can support a variety of methods to
authenticate a user. When it is provided with the username and original password given by the user, it can support
PPP, PAP or CHAP, UNIX login, and other authentication mechanisms. Below is the RADIUS and RADIUS to Local
authentication mode interface. For the RADIUS to Local mode, the authentication will try remote authentication first,
falling back to local authentication mode if remote mode fails.
