APC AP8861 Manuel D’Utilisation

Select one of the following:

•  Local Authentication Only: RADIUS is disabled. Local authentication is enabled.

•  RADIUS, then Local Authentication: RADIUS and local authentication are enabled. 

Authentication is requested from the RADIUS server first. If the RADIUS server fails to respond, 

local authentication is used

.

Note: If RADIUS Only is selected, and the RADIUS server is unavailable, or improperly 
configured, remote access is unavailable to all users. You must use a serial connection to the 
command line interface and change the access setting to local or radiusLocal to regain access. 
For example, the command to change the access setting to local would be: radius -a local
