Configuring the switch
By default, the switch does not authenticate the console login user at an AUX interface. To increase
system security and enable remote management:
•
Configure remote access services, for example, Telnet or SSH.
• Configure authentication on each user interface, including the AUX interfaces.
Configuring authentication on a user interface
You can configure authentication on a user interface to control access to the switch.
Table 8 describes the Telnet login authentication methods available for a VTY user line.

Configuring the basic access function
The switch without any configuration can perform basic data forwarding immediately after it is plugged
into a network. To implement more forwarding features, configure the basic network settings in Table 9
on the switch.
