Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is an authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol used for management sessions with the

. If RADIUS authentication is configured, the

Spacevars

communicates with a network-deployed RADIUS server to authenticate serial console, SSH, TELNET, HTTP, and HTTPS management sessions.

Spacevars

For all protocols except SSH, feedback is given to the operator indicating whether the login is being sent to the RADIUS server or verified locally. Sessions involving the RADIUS server are identified with the string “Radius” in the login prompt. Sessions authenticated locally on the

Spacevars

are identified with the string “System” in the login prompt.
