Authentication lists

An authentication login list specifies one or more authentication methods to validate
switch or port access for an admin or guest user. Access can be HTTP or HTTPS access
to the main UI or AV UI, or line access (that is, Telnet, SSH, or console access) to the CLI.

Configure a login authentication list

A login list specifies the authentication methods to be used to validate switch or port
access. An authentication list can apply to users that access the switch through one of
the following methods:

Secure Shell (SSH): For information about selecting an authentication list for SSH
access, see SSH management access on page 669.

Telnet: For information about selecting an authentication list for Telnet access, see
Telnet management access on page 676.

Console port: For information about selecting an authentication list for console port
access, see Console port management access on page 679.

Two default lists are present: defaultList and networkList. You cannot delete these lists.
By default, the preconfigured users (admin and guest) are assigned to both of these
lists in the following way:

For SSH and Telnet access, by default, the preconfigured users are assigned to the
defaultList.

For console access, by default, the preconfigured users are assigned to the
networkList.

All newly added users are also assigned to the defaultList until you specifically assign
them to a different list (see Configure the global 802.1X authentication settings on page
689).

To configure a login authentication list:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
