D-Link DES-3552 [137/260] Authentication server hosts

DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch

Authentication Server Hosts

This window will set user-defined Authentication Server Hosts for the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS

security protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with Authentication Policy enabled, the

Switch will send authentication packets to a remote TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server host on a remote

host. The TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server host will then verify or deny the request and return the

appropriate message to the Switch. More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server host but,

remember that TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS are separate entities and are not compatible with each other.

The maximum supported number of server hosts is 16.
