5 User management
Nortel Secure Router 8000 Series
Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration
A user can access commands with a level equal to or lower than the user’s level. For example,
if the user level is 2, the user can access commands with the level 0, 1, or 2. A user with the
level 3 can access all the commands.
CQ NOTE
For information about command levels, see Chapter 3, “CLI Overview.”
User authentication
After user configuration, the system authenticates users when they access the router. The four
types of user authentication are as follows:
•
Nonauthentication: A user accesses the router without the user name and password. This
type is not recommended due to security reasons.
•
Password authentication: A user accesses the router with only the password, but not the
user name. This type is safer than nonauthentication.
•
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) authentication: AAA supports
local authentication and remote authentication. A user requires both the user name and
password to access the router in local authentication. The remote authentication scheme
cooperates with the AAA server, which authenticates PPP users.
AAA local authentication authenticates Telnet and HyperTerminal users.
User planning
The network administrator provides a user plan based on specific requirements:
•
At least one HyperTerminal user is created on a router.
•
A Telnet user is created for remote access.
•
An FTP user uploads or downloads files on a router from a remote location.
•
A PPP user can access networks through PPP connections.
03 NOTE
•
For information about configuring FTP users, see Chapter 8, “FTP, TFTP, and Xmodem.”
•
For information about configuring PPP users, see
