Specify the LINE Mode Password and Privilege
You can specify a password authentication of all users on different terminal lines. The user’s privilege
level is the same as the privilege level assigned to the terminal line.
To specify a password for the terminal line, use the following commands, in any order, in LINE mode:
To view the password configured for a terminal, use the
show config command in LINE mode.
Enable and Disable Privilege Levels
To set a user’s security level, use the enable or enable privilege-level commands in EXEC Privilege mode. If
you do not enter a privilege level, FTOS sets it to 15 by default.
To move to a lower privilege level, enter the
disable command followed by the level-number you wish to set
for the user in EXEC Privilege mode. If you enter the
disable command without a level-number, your
security level is 1.
RADIUS
Remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) is a distributed client/server protocol. This protocol
transmits authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a central RADIUS server
and a RADIUS client (the Dell Force10 system). The system sends user information to the RADIUS server
and requests authentication of the user and password. The RADIUS server returns one of the following
responses:
• Access-Accept—the RADIUS server authenticates the user
• Access-Reject—the RADIUS server does not authenticate the user
If an error occurs in the transmission or reception of RADIUS packets, you can view the error by enabling
the
debug radius command.
