Use the Authentication Tiering page to configure the sequence and priority of the authentication methods for the interfaces on the device. When Authentication Manager is enabled globally, the authentication methods configured on an interface are executed in the order configured as the device attempts to authenticate clients on that interface. The default method order is Dot1x, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB).

|---|---|
| Interface | The interface associated with the rest of the data in the row. When editing information for one or more interfaces, this field identifies the interfaces that are being configured. |

which the authentication methods are used to authenticate a client connected to
an interface, which can be one or more of the following:
