Figure 9-8. Authentication Profiles

Adding and Configuring an Authentication Profile

To configure an authentication profile:

1 Open the Authentication Profiles page.
2 Click Add to display the Add Authentication Profiles page.
3 Enter a name for the Authentication Profile.
4 Select the authentication methods to use for the profile.

The order in which you select the methods is the order the switch will use

to attempt to authentication the user. In Figure 9-9, the profile name is

myList. The switch will contact the RADIUS server to authenticate the

user. If that attempt fails, the switch queries the local user database for

relevant authentication information.

NOTE:

To use the LINE or ENABLE method, you must first define passwords

for these methods. For more information, see "Line Password" on page 197 or

"Enable Password" on page 197.
