DAS-3600 Series Ethernet over VDSL Switch CLI Reference Manual
config authen_enable
Purpose Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication methods for promoting normal
user level privileges to Administrator level privileges on the Switch.
Syntax config authen_enable [default | method_list_name <string 15>] method {tacacs |
xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group <string 15> | local_enable | none}
Description 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.
