Default level
2: System level
Parameters
local: Authenticates a user by using the local password set with the super password command. In this
case, when no password is set with the super password command, privilege level switching succeeds if
the user is logged in from the console port (here indicates the console port or the AUX port used as the
console port), and the switch fails if the user is logged in from any of the AUX or VTY user interfaces or
enters an incorrect switch password.
scheme: AAA authentication. For more information about AAA, see Security Configuration Guide.
local scheme: First local and then scheme, which means to authenticate a user by using the local
password first, and if no password is set, for the user logged in from the console port, the privilege level
switching succeeds; for the user logged in from any of the AUX or VTY user interfaces, the AAA
authentication is performed.
scheme local: First scheme and then local, which means that AAA authentication is performed first, and
if the AAA configuration is invalid (domain parameters or authentication scheme are not configured) or
the server does not respond, the authentication requiring the local password is performed.
Description
Use super authentication-mode to set the authentication mode for user privilege level switching.
