Specifying the Authentication and Accounting Methods for Subscriber Access
To specify the authentication and accounting methods that subscriber access management uses, you include the authentication-order statement and accounting order statements at the [edit access profile profile-name] hierarchy level.
- [edit access profile profile-name]
-
authentication-order [ authentication-methods ]
- }
-
accounting {
-
order [ accounting-methods ];
- }
You can configure multiple authentication and accounting methods—the authentication-order and accounting order statements specify the order in which the subscriber access management feature uses the methods. For example, an authentication entry of radius password specifies that RADIUS authentication is performed first and, if it fails, local authentication (password) is done.
- [edit access profile profile-name]
- authentication-order radius password;
You can specify the following authentication methods:
![]() |
Note: The password keyword is not supported by the subscriber access management feature in this release. |
- password—Local authentication
- radius—RADIUS-based authentication
You can specify the following accounting methods:
- radius—RADIUS-based accounting
