Enable Admin
Figure 10- 49. Enable Admin window
The
Enable Admin
window is for users who have
logged on to the Switch on the normal user level, and
wish to be 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 open this window and will have
to enter an authentication password. Possible
authentication methods for this function include
TACACS/XTACACS//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.
When this window appears, click the
Enable Admin
button revealing a dialog box for the user to enter
authentication (password, username), as seen below. A
successful entry will promote the user to Administrator
level privileges on the Switch.
