Basic question to authenticate switches and Linux boxes

["Edvin Seferovic | Kolpinghaus St. Pölten"]

You need to rephrase your question. Do you want to:

a.) authenticate and authorize users accessing the console of your switch?
b.) authenticate a machine/user connected to a port of a switch (MAC 
auth or 801.x)
c.) Linux boxes are machines... see "B"
d.) authenticate users accessing the boxes...
