III. Adopting HWTACACS authentication for user level switching
To implement HWTACACS authentication for user level switching, a level-3 user must
perform the commands listed in
Table 1-5 to configure the HWTACACS authentication
scheme used for low-to-high user level switching. With HWTACACS authentication
enabled, you can pass the HWTACACS authentication successfully only after you
provide the right user name and the corresponding password as prompted. Note that if
you have passed the HWTACACS authentication when logging in to the switch, only
the password is required.
Table 1-5 lists the operations to configure HWTACACS authentication for user level
switching, which can only be performed by Level-3 users.
