use RADIUS for authentication - FreeRADIUS will do the work.... it
depends on what accounting etc you want. each vendor has their own VSA
list for this sort of purpose....and you'll want to create groups and probably
hunt-groups etc so only your admin group can log into the devices...along with
ACLs etc so they can only get access to the admin interface from particular
VLANs - TACACS+ is an alternative method (FreeRADIUS doesnt do TACACS+ yet)
