Chapter 9 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication
Protecting Access to Privileged EXEC Commands
•
If you want to use username and password pairs, but you want to store them centrally on a server
instead of locally, you can store them in a database on a security server. Multiple networking devices
can then use the same database to obtain user authentication (and, if necessary, authorization)
information. For more information, see the
“Controlling Switch Access with ” section on
•
You can also enable the login enhancements feature, which logs both failed and unsuccessful login
attempts. Login enhancements can also be configured to block future login attempts after a set
number of unsuccessful attempts are made. For more information, see the Cisco IOS Login
Enhancements documentation at this URL:

Protecting Access to Privileged EXEC Commands
A simple way of providing terminal access control in your network is to use passwords and assign
privilege levels. Password protection restricts access to a network or network device. Privilege levels
define what commands users can enter after they have logged into a network device.
