Success.
DGS-3612G:4#
config authen_enable
Purpose
Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication methods
for promoting normal user level privileges to Administrator level
privileges on the Switch.
Syntax
config authen_enable [default | method_list_name <string 15>]
method {tacacs | xtacacs | | radius | server_group <string
15> | local_enable | none}
Description
This command is used to promote users with normal level privileges to
Administrator level privileges using authentication methods on the
Switch. Once a user acquires normal user level privileges on the Switch,
he or she must be authenticated by a method on the Switch to gain
administrator privileges on the Switch, which is defined by the
Administrator. A maximum of eight (8) enable method lists can be
implemented simultaneously on the Switch.
The sequence of methods implemented in this command will affect the
authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of
methods like
tacacs – xtacacs – local_enable,
the Switch will send an
authentication request to the first
TACACS
host in the server group. If no
verification is found, the Switch will send an authentication request to the
second
TACACS
host in the server group and so on, until the list is
exhausted. At that point, the Switch will restart the same sequence with
the following protocol listed,
XTACACS
. If no authentication takes place
using the
XTACACS
list, the
local_enable
password set in the Switch is
used to authenticate the user.
Successful authentication using any of these methods will give the user
an “Admin” level privilege.
Parameters
default
– The default method list for administration rights authentication,
as defined by the user. The user may choose one or a combination of up
to four (4) of the following authentication methods:
method_list_name
– Enter a previously implemented method list name
tacacs
– Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the TACACS protocol from the remote
TACACS
server hosts
of the TACACS
server group
list.
xtacacs
– Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the
XTACACS protocol from the remote
XTACACS
server hosts
of the XTACACS
server group
list.
– Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the TACACS
+
protocol from the remote
server hosts
of the
server group
list.
radius
– Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the RADIUS
protocol from the remote
RADIUS
server hosts
of the RADIUS
server group
list.
server_group <string 15>
- Adding this parameter will require
the user to be authenticated using a user-defined server group
previously configured on the Switch.
local_enable
- Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the local
user account
database on the
Switch.
none
– Adding this parameter will require no authentication to
access the Switch.
