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 416 or “ADD
RADIUSSERVER” on page 414.
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.
Examples

on the switch:
set authentication method=tacacs
The following command selects TACACS+ as the authentication protocol
and specifies a global encryption key of tiger54:
set authentication method=tacacs secret=tiger54
