Security > Access Authentication Control > Login Method Lists
This feature will configure a user-defined or default Login Method List of authentication techniques for users
logging on to the Switch. Successful login using any of these techniques will give the user a "User" privilege
only. To upgrade his or her status to the administrator level, the user must use the Enable Admin window, in
which the user must enter a previously configured password, set by the administrator.
The Switch contains one Method List that is set and cannot be removed, yet can be modified. To delete a
Login Method List defined by the user, click Delete button. To modify the Login Method List, click Edit button.
Figure 5.98 – Security > Access Authentication control > Login Method Lists
To define a Login Method List, set the following parameters and click Apply:
Method List Name: Enter a method list name defined by the user of up to 15 characters.
Priority 1, 2, 3, 4: The user may add one, or a combination of up to four of the following authentication
methods to this method list:
none – Adding this parameter will require an authentication to access the Switch.
local – Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the local user account
database on the Switch.
radius – Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the RADIUS protocol
from a remote RADIUS server.
Security > Access Authentication Control > Enable Method Lists
The Enable Method Lists page is used to set up Method Lists to promote users with user level privileges to
Administrator (Admin) 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 on the Switch, one of which is a default Enable Method List. This
default Enable Method List cannot be deleted but can be configured.
