DES-1228/ME Layer 2 Metro Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Manual
Used to create a user defined method list of authentication methods for users logging on
to the Switch.
create authen_login method_list_name <string 15>
This command is used to create a list for authentication techniques for user login. The
Switch can support up to eight method lists, but one is reserved as a default and cannot
be deleted. Multiple method lists must be created and configured separately.
<string 15> − Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 15 characters to define the given
method list.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Used to configure a user-defined or default method list of authentication methods for user
login.
config authen_login [default | method_list_name <string 15>] method {tacacs |
xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group <string 15> | local | none}(1)
This command will configure a user-defined or default method list of authentication
methods for users logging on to the Switch. The sequence of methods implemented in this
command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of
methods like tacacs – xtacacs – local, the Switch will send an authentication request to the
first tacacs host in the server group. If no response comes from the server host, the Switch
will send an authentication request to the second tacacs host in the server group and so
on, until the list is exhausted. At that point, the Switch will restart the same sequence with
the following protocol listed, xtacacs. If no authentication takes place using the xtacacs
list, the local account database set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user. When
the local method is used, the privilege level will be dependant on the local account
privilege configured on the Switch.
Successful login using any of these methods will give the user a "user" privilege only. If the
user wishes to upgrade his or her status to the administrator level, the user must
implement the enable admin command, followed by a previously configured password.
(See the enable admin part of this section for more detailed information, concerning the
enable admin command.)
