Login Method Lists
This window is used to configure a user-defined or default Login Method List of authentication
techniques for users logging on to the Switch. The sequence of techniques implemented in this
command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of techniques, for
example TACACS – XTACACS - local, the Switch will send an authentication request to the first
TACACS host in the server group. If no response comes from the server host, 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 account database set in
the Switch is used to authenticate the user. When the local method is used, the privilege level will be
dependant on the local account privilege configured on the Switch.
When the user logins to the device successfully through TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS
server or none method, the “user” privilege level is assigned only. If the user wants to get admin
privilege level, the user must use the Enable Admin window to promote his privilege level. (See the
Enable Admin part of this section for more detailed information.)
