SET AUTHENTICATION
Syntax
set authentication method=tacacs|radius [secret= string ]
[timeout= value ]
Parameters
method Specifies which authenticator protocol, TACACS+ or
RADIUS, is to be the active protocol on the switch.
secret Specifies the global encryption key that is used by the
TACACS+ or RADIUS servers. If the servers use
different encryption keys, you can leave this
parameter blank and set individual encryption keys
with “ADD TACACSSERVER” on page 536 or “ADD
RADIUSSERVER” on page 534.
timeout Specifies the maximum amount of time the switch
waits for a response from an authentication server
before the switch assumes the server will not
respond. If the timeout expires and the server has not
responded, the switch queries the next server in the
list. After the switch has exhausted the list of servers,
the switch defaults to the standard Manager and
Operator accounts. The default is 30 seconds. The
range is 1 to 300 seconds.
Description
This command selects the authentication protocol. One one authentication
protocol can be active on the switch at a time. You may specify a global
encryption code and the maximum number of seconds the switch waits for
a response from an authenticator server.
