Network login uses two types of databases to authenticate users trying to access the network:
All three network login protocols, web-based, MAC-based, and 802.1X, support RADIUS authentication. Only web-based and MAC-based network login support local database authentication.
Note
Beginning in ExtremeXOS 16.1, when RADIUS authentication is listed first and sends an access-reject it is honored and the local user database is not consulted - the bullet points listed just below indicate when the local database is used. .The network login authenticated entry is cleared when there is an FDB (forwarding database) timeout. This applies to web-based, MAC-Based, and 802.1X authentication.
