Command Usage
• There are three authentication modes provided by the switch
itself at login:
- login selects authentication by a single global password as
specified by the password line configuration command.
When using this method, the management interface starts in
Normal Exec (NE) mode.
- login local selects authentication via the user name and
password specified by the username command (i.e., default
setting). When using this method, the management interface
starts in Normal Exec (NE) or Privileged Exec (PE) mode,
depending on the user’s privilege level (0 or 15 respectively).
- no login selects no authentication. When using this method,
the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE) mode.
