www.dell.com | support.dell.com Specify the LINE Mode Password and Privilege You can specify a password authentication of all users on different terminal lines. The user's privilege level is the same as the privilege level assigned to the terminal line. To specify a password for the terminal line, use the following commands, in any order, in LINE mode: Command Syntax privilege level level password [encryption-type] password Command Mode Purpose LINE Configure a custom privilege level for the terminal lines. • level level range: 0 to 15. Levels 0, 1, and 15 are pre-configured. Levels 2 to 14 are available for custom configuration. LINE Specify either a plain text or encrypted password. Configure the following optional and required parameters: • encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text. • password: Enter a text string up to 25 characters long. To view the password configured for a terminal, use the show config command in LINE mode. Enable and Disable Privilege Levels To set a user's security level, use the enable or enable privilege-level commands in EXEC Privilege mode. If you do not enter a privilege level, FTOS sets it to 15 by default. To move to a lower privilege level, enter the disable command followed by the level-number you wish to set for the user in EXEC Privilege mode. If you enter the disable command without a level-number, your security level is 1. RADIUS Remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) is a distributed client/server protocol. This protocol transmits authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a central RADIUS server and a RADIUS client (the Dell Force10 system). The system sends user information to the RADIUS server and requests authentication of the user and password. The RADIUS server returns one of the following responses: • Access-Accept-the RADIUS server authenticates the user • Access-Reject-the RADIUS server does not authenticate the user If an error occurs in the transmission or reception of RADIUS packets, you can view the error by enabling the debug radius command. 484 | Security
