Local Authentication

You can also type the load config command, which reloads the WX
switch to the last saved configuration or loads a particular configuration
filename. (For more information, see "Managing Configuration Files" on
page 394.)
The following scenarios illustrate typical configurations for administrative
and local authentication. For all scenarios, the administrator is Natasha
with the password m@Jor. (For RADIUS server configuration details, see
Chapter 14, "Configuring Communication with RADIUS," on page 343.)

The first time you access a WX switch, it requires no authentication. (For
more information, see "First-Time Configuration via the Console" on
page 36.) In this scenario, after the initial configuration of the WX switch,
Natasha is connected through the console and has enabled access.
To enable local authentication for a console user, you must configure a
local username. Natasha types the following commands in this order:
WX1200# set user natasha password m@Jor
User natasha created
WX1200# set authentication console * local
success: change accepted.
WX1200# save config
success: configuration saved.
