Login Method Lists

User-defined or default Login Method List of authentication techniques can be configured for users logging on to the Switch. The
sequence of techniques implemented in this command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence
of techniques, for example TACACS - XTACACS- local, the Switch will send an authentication request to the first TACACS host
in th e serv er group. If no respo nse co mes fro m th e server ho st, t he Sw itch will send an au thentication requ est t o th e second
TACACS host in the server group and so on, until the list is ex hausted. At that point, the Switch will restart the same seq uence
with the following protoc ol listed, XT ACACS. If no authentication ta kes place using t he XTACACS list, the local account
database set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user. When the local method is used, the privilege level will be dependant on
the local account privilege configured on the Switch.
Successful login using any of these techniques will give the user a "User" privilege only. If the user wishes to upgrade his or her
status to t he ad ministrator lev el, th e u ser must u se th e Enable Admi n window, in which t he user m ust enter a previ ously
configured password, set by the administrator.
