User accounts are typically maintained locally on the switch. Therefore, if a site
contains multiple Avaya Switches, it is necessary to configure each switch with its
own user accounts. Additionally, if for example a 'read-write' user has to be
changed into a 'read-only' user, you must change all the 'read-write' passwords
configured locally in every switch, in order to prevent him from accessing this level.
This is obviously not effective management. A better solution is to have all of the
user login information kept in a central location where all the switches can access it.
P330 features such a solution: the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS).

for the entered user name and password, then the switch will send an
