Purpose
Syntax
Description
262
<string 15> - Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 15 characters to define the
given enable method list to create.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication methods for
promoting normal user level privileges to Administrator level privileges on the
switch.
config authen_enable [default | method_list_name <string 15>] method
{tacacs | xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group <string 15> |
local_enable | none}
This command is used to promote users with normal level privileges to
Administrator level privileges using authentication methods on the switch.
Once a user acquires normal user level privileges on the switch, he or she
must be authenticated by a method on the switch to gain administrator
privileges on the switch, which is defined by the Administrator. A maximum of
eight enable method lists can be implemented simultaneously on the switch.
The sequence of methods implemented in this command will affect the
authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of methods like
tacacs – xtacacs – local_enable, the switch will send an authentication request
to the first TACACS host in the server group. If no verification is found, the
switch will send an authentication request to the second TACACS host in the
server group and so on, until the list is exhausted. At that point, the switch will
restart the same sequence with the following protocol listed, xtacacs. If no
authentication takes place using the xtacacs list, the local_enable password
set in the switch is used to authenticate the user.
Successful authentication using any of these methods will give the user an
"Admin" level privilege.
