Section VIII: Management Security

829

When a switch receives a username and password combination from a
network manager, it sends the combination to the first authentication
server in its list. If the server fails to respond, the switch sends the
combination to the next server in the list, and so on.

If no authentication server responds or if no servers have been defined
and you are managing the switch locally, the AT-S63 management
software defaults to the standard manager and operator accounts.
