Local Authentication Process
When the switch is configured to use RADIUS, it reverts to local authentication
only if one of these two conditions exists:
■ "Local" is the authentication option for the access method being used.
■ The switch has been configured to query one or more RADIUS servers
for a primary authentication request, but has not received a response,
and local is the configured secondary option.
