Command Usage
There are three authentication modes provided by the switch itself at login: -login selects authentication by a single global
password as specified by the password line configuration command. When using this method, the management interface
starts in Normal Exec (NE) mode. -login local selects authentication via the user name and password specified by the
username command (i.e., default setting). When using this method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE)
or Privileged Exec (PE) mode, depending on the user’s privilege level (0 or 15 respectively).
no login selects no authentication. When using this method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE) mode.
This command controls login authentication via the switch itself. To configure user names and passwords for remote
authentication servers, you must use the RADIUS or TACACS software installed on those servers.
