create authen_enable method_list_name
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.
Parameters <string 15> - Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 15 characters to
define the given enable method list 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 Administrator privileges:
DGS-3600:4#create authen_enable method_list_name Permit
Command: show authen_login method_list_name Permit
Success.
DGS-3600:4#
config authen_enable
Purpose Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication methods
for promoting normal user level privileges to Administrator level
privileges on the Switch.
Syntax
config authen_enable [default | method_list_name <string 15>]
method {tacacs | xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group <string
15> | local_enable | none}
Description This command is used to promote users with normal level privileges to
Administrator level privileges 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 enable method lists can be
implemented simultaneously 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
an “Admin” level privilege.
Parameters default – The default method list for administration rights authentication,
as defined by the user. The user may choose one or a combination of up
to four of the following authentication methods:
! tacacs – Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the TACACS protocol from the remote
TACACS server hosts of the TACACS server group list.
! xtacacs – Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the XTACACS protocol from the remote
XTACACS server hosts of the XTACACS server group list.
! tacacs+ – Adding this parameter will require the user to be
authenticated using the TACACS+ protocol from the remote
