To improve security and prevent attacks to the unused Sockets, TCP 23 and TCP 22, ports for Telnet
and SSH services respectively, will be enabled or disabled after corresponding configurations.
z If the authentication mode is none, TCP 23 will be enabled, and TCP 22 will be disabled.
z If the authentication mode is password, and the corresponding password has been set, TCP 23 will
be enabled, and TCP 22 will be disabled.
z If the authentication mode is scheme, there are three scenarios: when the supported protocol is
specified as telnet, TCP 23 will be enabled; when the supported protocol is specified as SSH, TCP
22 will be enabled; when the supported protocol is specified as all, both the TCP 23 and TCP 22
port will be enabled.
Examples
z Example of the password authentication mode configuration
# Configure to authenticate users using the local password on the console port, and set the
authentication password to aabbcc in plain text.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] user-interface aux 0
[Sysname-ui-aux0] authentication-mode password
[Sysname-ui-aux0] set authentication password simple aabbcc
After the configuration, when a user logs in to the switch through the console port, the user must enter
the correct password.
z Example of the scheme authentication mode configuration
# Configure the authentication mode as scheme for VTY users logging in through Telnet.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] user-interface vty 0
[Sysname-ui-vty0] authentication-mode scheme
[Sysname-ui-vty0] quit
# Specify domain system as the default domain, and set the scheme authentication mode to local for
the domain.
[Sysname] domain default enable system
[Sysname] domain system
[Sysname-isp-system] scheme local
[Sysname-ui-vty0] quit
# Configure the local authentication username and password.
[Sysname] local-user guest
[Sysname-luser-guest] password simple 123456
[Sysname-luser-guest] service-type telnet level 2
After the configuration, when a user logs in to the switch through VTY0, the user must enter the
configured username and password.
