You can configure the JUNOS software to be both a RADIUS or
TACACS+ authentication client.
If an authentication method included in the [authentication-order] statement is not available, or if the authentication is available
but returns a reject response, the JUNOS software tries the next authentication
method included in the authentication-order statement.
The RADIUS or TACACS+ server authentication might fail because
of the following reasons:
The authentication method is configured, but the corresponding
authentication servers are not configured. For instance, the radius
and tacplus authentication methods are included in the authentication-order statement, but the corresponding RADIUS or TACACS+ servers are not
configured at the respective [edit system radius-server] and [edit system tacplus-server] hierarchy levels.
The RADIUS or TACACS+ server does not respond within the
timeout period configured at the [edit system radius-server] or [edit system tacplus-server] hierarchy levels.
The RADIUS or TACACS+ server is not reachable due to a
network problem.
The RADIUS or TACACS+ server authentication might return a reject
response because of the following reasons:
The user profiles of users accessing a router might not
be configured on the RADIUS or TACACS+ server.
