xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch Login Method Lists This command will configure a user-defined or default Login Method List of authentication techniques for users logging on to the Switch. The sequence of techniques implemented in this command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of techniques, for example TACACS - XTACACS - local, the Switch will send an authentication request to the first TACACS host in the server group. If no response comes from the server host, the Switch will send an authentication request to the second TACACS host in the server group and so on, until the list is exhausted. At that point, the Switch will restart the same sequence with the following protocol listed, XTACACS. If no authentication takes place using the XTACACS list, the local account database set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user. When the local method is used, the privilege level will be dependant on the local account privilege configured on the Switch. Successful login using any of these techniques will give the user a "User" privilege only. To upgrade his or her status to the administrator level, the user must use the Enable Admin window, in which the user must enter a previously configured password, set by the administrator. (See the Enable Admin part of this section for more detailed information concerning the Enable Admin command.) To view this window, click Security > Access Authentication Control > Login Method Lists, as shown below: Figure 7- 51.
