Description
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Used to display the authentication parameters currently configured on the Switch.
show authen parameter
This command will display the authentication parameters currently configured on the
Switch, including the response timeout and user authentication attempts.
This command will display the following fields:
Response timeout – The configured time allotted for the Switch to wait for a response
of authentication from the user attempting to log in from the command line
interface or telnet interface.
User attempts: The maximum number of attempts the user may try to become
authenticated by the Switch, before being locked out.
None.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Used to promote user level privileges to administrator level privileges.
enable admin
This command is for users who have logged on to the Switch on the normal user level,
to become promoted to the administrator level. After logging on to the Switch users
will have only user level privileges. To gain access to administrator level
privileges, the user will enter this command and will have to enter an
authentication password. Possible authentication methods for this function include
TACACS, XTACACS, TACACS+, RADIUS, user defined server groups, local
enable (local account on the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because
XTACACS and TACACS do not support the enable function, the user must create
a special account on the server host which has the username "enable", and a
password configured by the administrator that will support the "enable" function.
This function becomes inoperable when the authentication policy is disabled.
