xStack® DES-3500 Series Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual • radius - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the RADIUS protocol from a remote RADIUS server. • tacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the TACACS protocol from a remote TACACS server. • xtacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the XTACACS protocol from a remote XTACACS server. • tacacs+ - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the TACACS protocol from a remote TACACS server. • server_group - Adding a previously configured server group will require the user to be authenticated using a user-defined server group previously configured on the Switch. 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 Management > Access Authentication Control > Local Enable Password: Figure 7- 36. Configure Local Enable Password window To set the Local Enable Password, set the following parameters and click Apply. Parameter Description Old Local Enabled New Local Enabled Confirm Local Enabled If a password was previously configured for this entry, enter it here in order to change it to a new password. 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 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 at Adminstrator level. 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. To view the following window, click Security Management > Access Authentication Control > Enable Admin: 178
