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).
