The switch ships with a default configuration defining the local RADIUS Server as the primary
authentication source (default users are admin with superuser privileges and operator with
monitor privileges). No secondary authentication source is specified. However, Brocade
recommends using an external RADIUS Server as the primary user authentication source and the
local switch RADIUS Server as the secondary user authentication source. To use an external
RADIUS Server as either a primary or secondary authentication source, it must be specified
appropriately.

NOTE

To optimally use an external RADIUS Server with the switch, Brocade recommends defining specific
external Server attributes to best utilize user privilege values for specific switch permissions. For
