Example usage: xStack Gigabit Layer 3 Switch Command Line Interface Manual To create a user-defined method list, named "Permit" for promoting user privileges to Administrator privileges: DGS-3324SRi:4#create authen_enable method_list_name Permit Command: show authen_login method_list_name Permit Success. DGS-3324SRi:4# config authen_enable Purpose Syntax Description Parameters Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication methods for promoting normal user level privileges to Administrator level privileges on the Switch. config authen_enable [default | method_list_name ] method {tacacs | xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group | local_enable | none} This command is used to promote users with normal level privileges to Administrator level privileges using authentication methods on the Switch. Once a user acquires normal user level privileges on the Switch, he or she must be authenticated by a method on the Switch to gain administrator privileges on the Switch, which is defined by the Administrator. A maximum of eight (8) method lists can be implemented on the Switch. The sequence of methods implemented in this command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of methods like tacacs - xtacacs - local_enable, the Switch will send an authentication request to the first tacacs host in the server group. If no verification is found, 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_enable password set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user. Successful authentication using any of these methods will give the user a "Admin" privilege. default - The default method list for administration rights authentication, as defined by the user. The user may choose one or a combination of up to four (4) of the following authentication methods: tacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the TACACS protocol from the remote TACACS server hosts of the TACACS server group list. xtacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the XTACACS protocol from the remote XTACACS server hosts of the XTACACS server group list. tacacs+ - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the TACACS+ protocol from the remote TACACS+ server hosts of the TACACS+ server group list. radius - Adding this parameter will require the user to be 168
