xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual create authen_enable method_list_name Purpose Syntax Description Parameters Restrictions Used to create a user-defined method list of authentication methods for promoting normal user level privileges to Administrator level privileges on the Switch. create authen_enable method_list_name 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) enable method lists can be implemented on the Switch. - Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 15 characters to define the given enable method list to create. Only Administrator-level users can issue this command. Example usage: To create a user-defined method list, named "Permit" for promoting user privileges to Administrator privileges: DES-3800:admin#create authen_enable method_list_name Permit Command: show authen_login method_list_name Permit Success. DES-3800:admin# config authen_enable Purpose Syntax Description 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) enable method lists can be implemented simultaneously 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 an "Admin" level privilege. 259
