Enable Method Lists Settings

Users can set up Method Lists to promote users with user level privileges to Administrator (Admin) level privileges

using authentication methods on the Switch. 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.

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

tacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the

TACACS protocol from a remote TACACS server.

xtacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the

XTACACS protocol from a remote XTACACS server.

tacacs+ - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the

TACACS+ protocol from a remote TACACS+ server.

radius - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the

RADIUS protocol from a remote RADIUS server.

local_enable - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using

the local enable password database on the Switch. The local enable password must

be set by the user in the next section entitled Local Enable Password.
