Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

AAA

Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services secure networks against unauthorized access. In addition to local authentication, OS10 supports remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) and terminal access controller access control system (TACACS+) client/server authentication systems. For RADIUS and TACACS+, an OS10 switch acts as a client and sends authentication requests to a server that contains all user authentication and network service access information.

A RADIUS or TACACS+ server provides: authentication of user credentials, authorization using role-based permissions, and accounting services. You can configure the security protocol used for different login methods and users. RADIUS provides limited authorization and accounting services compared to TACACS+. If you use a RADIUS or TACACS+ security server, configure the required security parameters on the server by following the procedures in the server documentation.
