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.
