User-defined user groups

The switch enables you to create up to 29 user-defined local user groups, for the purpose of configuring local authorization. Each of the 29 user-defined groups support up to 1024 CLI command authorization rules that define what CLI commands can be executed by members of the group.

The local user groups with their command execution rules are useful for the following:

  • Providing authorization for use with RADIUS servers.
  • Providing fallback authorization for use with TACACS+ servers.
  • Providing authorization when neither RADIUS or TACACS+ servers are used.
