Security

NOTE: Security functions not supported in EDS-400A series.

Security can be categorized in two levels: the user name/password level, and the port access level. For user

name/password level security, Moxa switches provide two different user login options: Terminal Access

Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) and Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS).

The TACACS+ and RADIUS mechanism is a centralized “AAA” (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting)

system 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.

User Login Authentication – User Login Settings

Both TACAS+ and RADIUS are options here.
