Remote User Administration
Use this window to manage remote user authorization for RADIUS or TACACS+.
RADIUS
VSE SmartConnect software supports the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Ser-
vice) method to authenticate and authorize remote administrators for managing the switch. The 
VSE SmartConnect software acts as a RADIUS client and communicates to the RADIUS 
server which authenticates and authorizes a remote administrator.
