create authen_enable method_list_name
to gain administrator privileges on the switch, which is defined by the
Administrator. A maximum of eight (8) enable method lists can be
implemented on the switch.
Parameters <string 15> Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 15 characters to
define the given enable method list the user wishes to create.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a user-defined method list, named “Permit” for promoting user privileges to Adminstrator privileges:
DES-3550:4#create authen_enable method_list_name Permit
Command: show authen_login method_list_name Permit
Success.
DES-3550:4#
config authen_enable
Purpose Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication
methods for promoting normal user level priveledges to
Administrator level priveledges on the switch.
Syntax
config authen_enable [default | method_list_name <string 15>]
method {tacacs | xtacacs | tacacs+ | server_group <string 15> |
local_enable | none}
Description This command is used to promote users with normal level priveleges
to Administrator level priviledges 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 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 a “Admin” priviledge.
Parameters default – The default method list for adminstration 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:
