Managing Users
The management of users includes, the setting of the user logon authentication
method, the level of command a user can use after logging on, the level of
command a user can use after logging on from the specific user interface, and the
command level.
Configuring the Authentication Method The authentication-mode
command configures the user login authentication method that allows access to
an unauthorized user. Table 9 describes the
authentication-mode command.
Perform the following configuration in user interface view.
By default, terminal authentication is not required for users who log in through
the console port, whereas a password is required for authenticating modem and
Telnet users when they log in.
To configure authentication for modem and Telnet users:
1 Configure local password authentication for the user interface.
When you set the password authentication mode, you must also configure a login
password to log in successfully. Table 10 describes the
set authentication
password command.
Perform the following configuration in user interface view.
Configure for password authentication when a user logs in through a VTY 0 user
interface and set the password to 3Com:
[SW7700] user-interface vty 0
[SW7700-ui-vty0] authentication-mode password
[SW7700-ui-vty0] set authentication password simple 3Com
2 Configure the local or remote authentication username and password.
Use the authentication-mode scheme command to perform local or remote
authentication of username and password. The type of the authentication
depends on your configuration. For detailed information, see “AAA and RADIUS
