Authentication Services
Authentication with RADIUS allows for a unique password for each user, instead of the need to maintain and distribute switch-specific passwords to all users.
RADIUS verifies identity for the following types of primary password access to the switch:
Serial port (console)
Telnet
SSH
SFTP/SCP
WebAgent
Port-Access (802.1X)
The switch also supports RADIUS accounting for Web Authentication and MAC authentication sessions.
NOTE:
The switch does not support RADIUS security for SNMP (network management) access. For information on blocking access through the WebAgent, see Controlling WebAgent access.
