Chapter 25 AAA 25.2.3 AAA Setup Use this screen to configure authentication, authorization and accounting settings on the Switch. Click on the AAA Setup link in the AAA screen to view the screen as shown. Figure 109 Advanced Application > AAA > AAA Setup The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 69 Advanced Application > AAA > AAA Setup LABEL Authentication Privilege Enable DESCRIPTION Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users accessing the Switch. These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second and third) to authenticate access privilege level for administrator accounts (users for Switch management). Configure the access privilege of accounts via commands (see the Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide) for local authentication. The TACACS+ and RADIUS are external servers. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding database correctly first. You can specify up to three methods for the Switch to authenticate the access privilege level of administrators. The Switch checks the methods in the order you configure them (first Method 1, then Method 2 and finally Method 3). You must configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the Switch to check other sources for access privilege level specify them in Method 2 and Method 3 fields. Select local to have the Switch check the access privilege configured for local authentication. Select radius or tacacs+ to have the Switch check the access privilege via the external servers.
