Defining Enable Methods
Network users must first login to the device on the Enable Method Lists Page. Access as non-administrative users is granted.
The Enable Method Lists Page allows network mangers to assign user privileges using authentication methods on the device.
Once a user is assigned a normal user level privileges the network user is authenticated and granted network access and
configuration privileges. A maximum of four Enable Method Lists can be defined on the device. The Enable Method List
cannot be deleted but can be configured.
User authentication occurs in the order the methods are selected. If the first authentication method is not available, the next
selected method is used. For example, if the selected authentication method is RADIUS, Local, and the RADIUS server is
not available; the user is authenticated locally. To define authentication methods:
1. Click Security > Access Authentication Control > Enable Method Lists. The
Enable Method Lists Page opens:
