Enable Admin
This 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 RADIUS, TACACS, , and XTACACS, 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
