Description: The user authentication method for all logins into the system. The following choices are available:

internal(0) - The system stores the username/password pairs in its nonvolatile memory. radius(1) - Authenticate using the RADIUS protocol. tacacs(2) - Authenticate using TACACS protocol. xtacacs(3) - Authenticate using the XTACACS protocol. tacacsplus(4) - Authenticate using the TACACS+ protocol.

What is salixUserAuthenticationMethod?

This object selects the authentication method used for all logins into the system — internal local accounts, RADIUS, TACACS, XTACACS, or TACACS+ — defaulting to internal. Admins set this to centralize login authentication through an external AAA server rather than relying on locally stored username/password pairs. For example, setting this to radius(1) makes the device authenticate all administrative logins against the configured RADIUS servers instead of its local user database.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2158.2.8.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SALIX-RADIUS-MIB::salixUserAuthenticationMethod

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2158.2.8.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SALIX-RADIUS-MIB::salixUserAuthenticationMethod.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2158.2.8.1.2.1 i <value>
