{ If RADIUS authentication is used, you must create a user account for each level-n user role in the
$enabn$ format or the $enabn$@domain-name format, where n represents the user role level.
When you use this method, the username you enter is ignored. You can pass authentication as
long as the password is correct.
• If you execute the quit command after obtaining user role authorization, you are logged out of the
device.
Table 10 User role authentication modes
Keywords Authentication mode Description
local
Local password
authentication only
(local-only)
The device uses the locally configured password for

If no local password is configured for a user role in this mode,
an AUX user can obtain the user role authorization by either
entering a string or not entering anything.

RADIUS (remote-only)
The device sends the username and password to the
HWTACACS or RADIUS server for remote authentication.
To use this mode, you must perform the following
configuration tasks:
• Configure the required HWTACACS or RADIUS scheme,
and configure the ISP domain to use the scheme for the
user. For more information, see Security Configuration
Guide.
• Add the user account and password on the HWTACACS
or RADIUS server.
