For <password1>, <password2>, etc., enter up to 29 ASCII characters.
Be sure to Insert a cursor return (<cr>) after each user record.

Importing a text file of user records from a TFTP server
NOTE
Before importing the file, make sure it adheres to the ASCII text format described in the previous
section, “Creating a text file of user records” on page 1313.
To import a text file of user records from a TFTP server to the PowerConnect switch, enter a
command such as the following.
PowerConnect#(config-localuserdb-userdb1)#import-users tftp 192.168.1.1 filename
userdb1
Syntax: import-users tftp <ip-address> filename <filename>
The <ip-address> parameter specifies the IPv4 address of the TFTP server on which the desired
text file resides.
The <filename> parameter specifies the name of the image on the TFTP server.
Using a RADIUS server as the web authentication method
By default, Web Authentication will use a RADIUS server to authenticate hosts’ usernames and
passwords, unless the device is configured to use the local user database (see the previous
section). To configure the PowerConnect switch to use a RADIUS server, refer to “Configuring
RADIUS security” on page 1181. You must also do the following.
1. Configure the RADIUS server information on the PowerConnect switch. Enter a command
such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#radius-server host 10.1.1.8 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
default key $GSig@U\
NOTE
Web Authentication will use the first reachable RADIUS server listed in the configuration. The
use-radius-server on individual ports is not supported for Web Authentication.
2. Enable the username and password authentication mode.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-10-webauth)#auth-mode username-password
3. Enable the RADIUS authentication method. Refer to “Setting the local user database
authentication method” on page 1314 or “Setting the web authentication failover sequence”
on page 1315
Setting the local user database authentication method
By default, the PowerConnect switch uses a RADIUS server to authenticate users in a VLAN. The
previous section describes how to configure a RADIUS server to authenticate users in a VLAN. To
configure the switch to instead use a local user database to authenticate users in a VLAN, enter a
command such as the following.
