Chapter 40: TACACS+ and RADIUS Commands

656

Section VIII: Management Security

ENABLE AUTHENTICATION

Syntax

enable authentication

Parameters

None.

Description

This command enables TACACS+ or RADIUS manager account
authentication on your switch. You must use the manager accounts you
defined on the TACACS+ or RADIUS server to manage the switch when
you enable manager authentication. To select an authenticator protocol,
refer to “SET AUTHENTICATION” on page 658.

Note

If you are using the RADIUS authentication protocol for 802.1x Port-
based Network Access Control but not for manager account
authentication, you do not need to use this command. You can leave
the RADIUS manager account feature disabled. The switch still has
access to the RADIUS configuration information for 802.1x port-
based access control.

Example

The following command enables manager account authentication on your
switch:

enable authentication
