If my radius servers are down and i try to get in to cisco box i dont get any message that i should use local username and password. Is there any way to get information that backup authentication in this case local username should use because radius servers are down.</P><P></P><P>Thanks </P><P>Juha</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 22:47:28 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/backup-authentication/m-p/974592#M390852 u346874_2 2019-03-10T22:47:28Z Re: Backup authentication https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-access-control/backup-authentication/m-p/974593#M390898 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>As far as login banners are concerned, I don't believe there is a way to change banners based on what you are authenticating to (Radius vs local).
