Login Authentication - Allied Telesis AT-8100L/8 User Manual

LOGIN AUTHENTICATION

Syntax
login authentication
Parameters
None
Modes
Console Line and Virtual Terminal Line modes
Description
Use this command to activate remote authentication of manager accounts
for local management sessions and remote Telnet and SSH sessions.
You can activate remote authentication separately for the different
management methods. Remote authentication of local management
sessions is activated in the Console Line mode while remote
authentication for remote Telnet and SSH management sessions is
activated in the Virtual Terminal Line mode.
Note
If the switch is unable to communicate with the authentication
servers when a manager logs on, because either the servers are not
responding or the RADIUS or TACACS+ client is configured
incorrectly, the switch automatically reactivates the local manager
accounts so that you can continue to log on and manage the unit.
Confirmation Command
"SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG" on page 164
Examples

sessions:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# line console 0
awplus(config-line)# login authentication
