Enable Method Lists

This window is used to set up Method Lists to promote users with normal level privileges to Administrator level privileg

using authentication methods on the Swit

ch. Once a user acquires normal user level privileges on the Switch, he or she

must be authenticated by a method on the Switch to gain administrator privileges on the Switch, which is defined by the

Administrator. A maximum of eight Enable Method Lists can be implemented on the Switch, one of which is a default

Enable Method List. This default Enable Method List cannot be deleted but can be configured.

The sequence of methods implemented in this command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user enters a

sequence of methods like TACACS – XTACACS – Local Enable, the Switch will send an authentication request to the

first TACACS host in the server group. If no verification is found, the Switch will send an authentication request to the

second TACACS host in the server group and so on, until the list is exhausted. At that point, the Switch will restart the

same sequence with the following protocol listed, XTACACS. If no authentication takes place using the XTACACS list,

the Local Enable password set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user.

Successful authentication using any of these methods will give the user an “Admin” privilege.

To view the following table, click Security > Access Authentication Control > Enable Method Lists:

NOTE: To set the Local Enable Password, see the next section, entitled

Local Enable Password.
