AAA Commands 259
User Guidelines
The PowerConnect firmware emulates industry standard behavior for enable
mode authentication over SSH and telnet. The default enable authentication
method for telnet and SSH uses the enableNetList method, which requires an
enable password. If users are unable to enter privileged mode when accessing
the switch via telnet or SSH, the administrator will need to either change the
enable authentication method, e.g. to enableList, or set an enable password.
If the encrypted parameter is specified, the password parameter is stored as
entered in the running-config. No attempt is made to decode the encrypted
password.
Example
The following example defines password "xxxyyyzzz" to control access to user
and privilege levels.
console(config)# enable password xxxyyyzzz
ip http authentication
Use the ip http authentication command in Global Configuration mode to
specify authentication methods for http server users. To return to the default,
use the no form of this command.
