6.1.1 authentication login
This command creates an authentication login list. The <listname> is up
to 15 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive. Up to 10 authenti-
cation login lists can be configured on the switch. When a list is created, the
authentication method “local” is set as the first method.
When the optional parameters “Option1”, “Option2” and/or “Option3” are
used, an ordered list of methods are set in the authentication login list. If the
authentication login list does not exist, a new authentication login list is first
created and then the authentication methods are set in the authentication
login list. The maximum number of authentication login methods is three. The
possible method values are local, radius and reject.
The value of local indicates that the user’s locally stored ID and password
are used for authentication. The value of radius indicates that the user’s ID
and password will be authenticated using the RADIUS server. The value of
reject indicates the user is never authenticated.
To authenticate a user, the authentication methods in the user’s login will be
attempted in order until an authentication attempt succeeds or fails.
Note: The default login list included with the default configuration can not be
changed.
Note: When assigning a list to the 'admin' account, include an authentication
method that allows administrative access even when remote authentication
is unavailable.
