Server User Manual

You can configure the console server to the default (Local) or using an alternate authentication method
(TACACS, RADIUS, or LDAP). Optionally, you can select the order in which local and remote
authentication is used:
Local TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP: Tries local authentication first, falling back to remote if local fails.
TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP Local: Tries remote authentication first, falling back to local if remote
fails.
TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP Down Local: Tries remote authentication first, falling back to local if the
remote authentication returns an error condition (for example, if the remote authentication
server is down or inaccessible).
