ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1072
create netlogin local-user
create netlogin local-user <user-name> {encrypted <password>} {vlan-vsa
[[{tagged | untagged} [<vlan_name>] | <vlan_tag>]]}
Description
Creates a local netlogin user name and password.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to create a local network login account and to configure the switch to use its local
database for network login authentication. This method of authentication is useful in the following
situations:
●
If both the primary and secondary (if configured) RADIUS servers timeout or are unable to respond
to authentication requests.
●
If no RADIUS servers are configured.
●
If the RADIUS server used for network login authentication is disabled.
If any of the above conditions are met, the switch checks for a local user account and attempts to
authenticate against that local account.
Extreme Networks recommends creating a maximum of 64 local accounts. If you need more than 64
local accounts, Extreme Networks recommends using RADIUS for authentication. For more information
about RADIUS authentication, see the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide
.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 you can also specify the destination VLAN to enter upon a
successful authentication.
