To do...
Enter system view
Set the authentication mode for
user privilege level switching
Configure the password for user
privilege level switching
Description
The switch authenticates a user by using the privilege level switching
password entered by the user.
When this mode is applied, you need to set the password for
privilege level switching with the super password command.
The switch sends the username and password for privilege level
switching to the HWTACACS or RADIUS server for remote
authentication.
When this mode is applied, you need to perform the following
configurations:
•
Configure HWTACACS or RADIUS scheme and reference the
created scheme in the ISP domain. For more information, see
Security Configuration Guide.
•
Create the corresponding user and configure password on the
HWTACACS or RADIUS server.
The switch authenticates a user by using the local password first,
and if no password for privilege level switching is set, for the user
logged in from the AUX user interface, the privilege level is switched
directly; for the user logged in from a VTY user interface, the AAA
authentication is performed.
AAA authentication is performed first, and if the remote
HWTACACS or RADIUS server does not respond or AAA
configuration on the switch is invalid, the local password
authentication is performed.
Use the command...
system-view
super authentication-mode { local
| scheme } *
super password [ level user-level ]
{ simple | cipher } password
