Chapter 9 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication
Protecting Access to Privileged EXEC Commands
Configuring Username and Password Pairs
You can configure username and password pairs, which are locally stored on the switch. These pairs are
assigned to lines or ports and authenticate each user before that user can access the switch. If you have
defined privilege levels, you can also assign a specific privilege level (with associated rights and
privileges) to each username and password pair.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to establish a username-based authentication
system that requests a login username and a password:
To disable username authentication for a specific user, use the
no username
name
global configuration
command. To disable password checking and allow connections without a password, use the
no login
line configuration command.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
username
name
[
privilege
level
]
{
password
encryption-type
password
}
Enter the username, privilege level, and password for each user.
•
For
name
, specify the user ID as one word. Spaces and quotation
marks are not allowed.
•
(Optional) For
level
, specify the privilege level the user has after
gaining access. The range is 0 to 15. Level 15 gives privileged EXEC
mode access. Level 1 gives user EXEC mode access.
•
For
encryption-type
, enter 0 to specify that an unencrypted password
will follow. Enter 7 to specify that a hidden password will follow.
•
For
password
, specify the password the user must enter to gain access
to the switch. The password must be from 1 to 25 characters, can
contain embedded spaces, and must be the last option specified in the
username
command.
Step 3
line console 0
or
line vty 0 15
Enter line configuration mode, and configure the console port (line 0) or
the VTY lines (line 0 to 15).
Step 4
login local
Enable local password checking at login time. Authentication is based on
the username specified in Step 2.
Step 5
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
