Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-
ON/N3000/N3100-ON/N4000 Series Switches
Dell EMC Networking switches support authentication of network users and
switch administrators via a number of methods. Management access to the
switch is via telnet, HTTP, SSH, or the serial console (SNMP access is
discussed in the SNMP Commands section). To ensure that only authorized
users can access or change the configuration of the switch, the administrator
can require that administrative access be authenticated.
Administrative Authentication
Switch administrators can be authenticated based on:
• Login mode
• Switch access method
• Access to Privileged Exec mode
• Two levels of access:
– 1 = Read-only
– 15 = Read-Write
The supported authentication methods for switch management access are:
• Local: The user's locally stored ID and password are used for
authentication.
• RADIUS: The user's ID and password are authenticated using the
RADIUS server.
• TACACS+: The user's ID and password are authenticated using the
TACACS+ server.
• None: No authentication is used.
• Enable: Uses the enable password for authentication.
• Line: Uses the line password for authentication.
• Authentication Preference Lists (APLs): An Authentication Preference List
is an ordered list of authentication methods.
