DES-3028 DES-3028P DES-3028G DES-3052 DES-3052P Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Managed Switch Configure Local Enable Password This window will configure the locally enabled password for the Enable Admin command. When a user chooses the "local_enable" method to promote user level privileges to administrator privileges, he or she will be prompted to enter the password configured here that is locally set on the Switch. To view the following window, click Security > Access Authentication Control > Configure Local Enable Password: Figure 10- 48. Configure Local Enable Password window To set the Local Enable Password, set the following parameters and click Apply. Parameter Description Old Local Enabled If a password was previously configured for this entry, enter it here in order to change it to a new password New Local Enabled Enter the new password that you wish to set on the Switch to authenticate users attempting to access Administrator Level privileges on the Switch. The user may set a password of up to 15 characters. Confirm Local Enabled Confirm the new password entered above. Entering a different password here from the one set in the New Local Enabled field will result in a fail message. Enable Admin The Enable Admin window is for users who have logged on to the Switch on the normal user level, and wish to be promoted to the administrator level. After logging on to the Switch, users will have only user level privileges. To gain access to administrator level privileges, the user will open this window and will have to enter an authentication password. Possible authentication methods for this function include TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS, user defined server groups, local enable (local account on the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because XTACACS and TACACS do not support the enable function, the user must create a special account on the server host, which has the username "enable", and a password configured by the administrator that will support the "enable" function. This function becomes inoperable when the authentication policy is disabled. When this window appears, click the Enable Admin button revealing a dialog box for the user to enter authentication (password, username), as seen below. A successful entry will promote the user to Administrator level privileges on the Switch. To view the following window, click Security > Access Authentication Control > Enable Admin: Figure 10- 49.
