Enable Admin
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.
To view the following window, click
Security > Access Authentication Control > Enable Admin
:
Figure 8- 22. Enable Admin window

username), as seen below. A successful entry will promote the user to Administrator level privileges on the Switch.
