Defining Management Access Method

Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide 

252

 

If an authentication method fails or the user has insufficient privilege level, the user 
is denied access to the device. In other words, if authentication fails at an 
authentication method, the device stops the authentication attempt; it does not 
continue and does not attempt to use the next authentication method. 

To define authentication methods for an access method:

Click Security > Management Access Authentication.

Select an access method from the Application list.

Use the arrows to move the authentication method between the Optional Methods 
column and the Selected Methods column. The first method selected is the first 
method that is used.

•

RADIUS—User is authenticated on a RADIUS server. You must have 
configured one or more RADIUS servers.

•

None—User is allowed to access the device without authentication.

•

Local—Username and password are checked against the data stored on the 
local device. These username and password pairs are defined in the User 
Accounts page. 

The Local or None authentication method must always be 

selected last. All authentication methods selected after Local or None 
are ignored. 

Click Apply. The selected authentication methods are associated with the access 
method.

Access profiles determine how to authenticate and authorize users accessing the 
device through various access methods. Access Profiles can limit management 
access from specific sources.

Only users who pass both the active access profile and the management access 
authentication methods are given management access to the device.

There can only be a single access profile active on the device at one time.
