Authentication: a backup remote authentication server is available

Information

RADIUS or TACACS+ password management should be leveraged to ensure that a rogue node does not attempt a brute force logon attempt. This is a situation where a large number of logon attempts are made to a known user account.

Solution

Run the following command on the device to configure a remote RADIUS server: configure system security <radius|tacplus> server <index-number> address <ip-address> secret <key>
