Server-Side Configuration; Aaa Authorization; Privilege Levels Overview - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

To use local authentication for enable secret on the console, while using remote authentication on virtual
terminal line (VTY) lines, use the following commands:
FTOS(conf)# aaa authentication enable mymethodlist radius tacacs
FTOS(conf)# line vty 0 9
FTOS(conf-line-vty)# enable authentication mymethodlist

Server-Side Configuration

TACACS+: When using TACACS+, Dell Force10 sends an initial packet with service type
SVC_ENABLE, and then, a second packet with just the password. The TACACS server must have an
entry for username $enable$. When using RADIUS authentication, FTOS sends an authentication packet
with the following:
Username: $enab15$
Password: <password-entered-by-user>
Therefore, the RADIUS server must have an entry for this username.

AAA Authorization

FTOS enables AAA new-model by default.You can set authorization to be either local or remote. Different
combinations of authentication and authorization yield different results. By default, FTOS sets both to
local.

Privilege Levels Overview

Limiting access to the system is one method of protecting the system and your network. However, at times,
you might need to allow others access to the router and you can limit that access to a subset of commands.
In FTOS, you can configure a privilege level for users who need limited access to the system.
Every command in FTOS is assigned a privilege level of 0, 1, or 15. You can configure up to 16 privilege
levels in FTOS. FTOS is pre-configured with three privilege levels and you can configure 13 more. The
three pre-configured levels are:
• Privilege level 1—is the default level for EXEC mode. At this level, you can interact with the router,
for example, view some show commands and Telnet and ping to test connectivity, but you cannot
configure the router. This level is often called the "user" level. One of the commands available in
Privilege level 1 is the
