. If RADIUS authentication is configured, the
Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
communicates with a network-deployed RADIUS server to authenticate serial console, SSH, TELNET, HTTP, and HTTPS management sessions.
If the

cannot contact the network-based RADIUS server in the specified number of retries, or the configured shared secret does not match the secret on the RADIUS server, the

uses the credentials supplied by the user to perform local authentication.
The RADIUS Settings page contains parameters for RADIUS server authentication for HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, and console login. 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

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