SLC™ Console Manager User Guide 80
For #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6, if logins or authentication are not enabled, the user is directly
connected to the device port with no authentication.
For #1 and #6, if logins are enabled, the user is authenticated first, and then logged into the
command line interface. The user login determines permissions for accessing device ports.
Permissions
There are three types of permissions:
Direct (or data) mode: The user can interact with and monitor the device port (connect
direct command).
Listen mode: The user can only monitor the device port (connect listen command).
Clear mode: The user can clear the contents of the device port buffer (set log <port>
clear buffer command).
The administrator and users with local user rights may assign individual port permissions to local
users. The administrator and users with remote authentication rights assign port access to users
authenticated by NIS, RADIUS, LDAP, Kerberos and TACACS+.
