Authentication
This section describes how to configure system authentication including RADIUS and TACACS+. Moxa
switches have three different user login authentications: TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-
Control System Plus), RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service), and Local. The TACACS+ and
RADIUS mechanisms are centralized “AAA” (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) systems for
connecting to network services. The fundamental purpose of both TACACS+ and RADIUS is to provide an
efficient and secure mechanism for user account management.
There are five combinations available for users to choose from:
1. TACACS+, Local: Check the TACACS+ database first. If checking the TACACS+ database fails, then
check the Local database.
2. RADIUS, Local: Check the RADIUS database first. If checking the RADIUS database fails, then check
the Local database.
3. TACACS+: Only check TACACS+ database.
4. RADIUS: Only check the RADIUS database.
5. Local: Only check the Local database.
