4.2.4.7 Authentication List Configuration
Use this screen to configure login lists. A login list specifies the authentication method(s) you want used
to validate switch or port access for the users associated with the list. The pre-configured users, admin
and guest, are assigned to a pre-configured list named defaultList, which you may not delete. All newly
created users are also assigned to the defaultList until you specifically assign them to a different list
Selection Criteria
Authentication List - Select the authentication login list you want to configure. Select
'create' to define a new login list. When you create a new login list, 'local' is set as the initial
authentication method.
Configurable Data
Authentication List Name - If you are creating a new login list, enter the name you want to
assign. It can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters long and is not case sensitive.
Method 1 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method that should appear first in the
selected authentication login list. If you select a method that does not time out as the first
method, such as 'local' no other method will be tried, even if you have specified more than
one method. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first create a new login list.
The options are:
Local- the user's locally stored ID and password will be used for authentication
Radius- the user's ID and password will be authenticated using the RADIUS server
instead of locally
Reject- the user is never authenticated
Undefined- the authentication method is unspecified (this may not be assigned as
the first method)
Method 2 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method, if any, that should appear second
in the selected authentication login list. This is the method that will be used if the first
method times out. If you select a method that does not time out as the second method, the
third method will not be tried. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first create
a new login list.
Method 3 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method, if any, that should appear third in
the selected authentication login list. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first
create a new login list.
