Logging in through modems
The administrator can use two modems to remotely maintain a switch through its Console port over the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) when the IP network connection is broken.
This section includes these topics:
•
•
•
Modem login authentication modes
•
Configuring none authentication for modem login
•
Configuring password authentication for modem login
•
Configuring scheme authentication for modem login
•
Configuring common settings for modem login (optional)

By default, no authentication is needed when you log in through modems, and the default user privilege
level is 3.
