Using Named Template Accounts

Template accounts for which you define a name are defined on a C-series platform and are referenced by the TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication servers through usernames. All users who share a local user template account have the same access privileges.

When a user who accesses the C-series platform through a name template account logs in:
