profiles and per-command authorization are configured for a user, any command must be permitted by both the administrative profiles and by percommand authorization. RADIUS Authorization Example-Direct Login to Privileged EXEC Mode Apply the following configuration to use RADIUS for authorization, such that a user can enter privileged exec mode directly: aaa authorization exec "rad" radius line telnet authorization exec rad exit Configure the RADIUS server so that the RADIUS attribute Service Type (6) is sent with value Administrative. Any value other than Administrative is interpreted as privilege level 1. The following describes each line in the above configuration: • The aaa authorization exec "rad" radius command creates an exec authorization method list called "rad" that contains the method radius. • The authorization exec rad command assigns the rad exec authorization method list to be used for users accessing the switch via telnet. Notes: • If the privilege level is zero (that is, blocked), then authorization will fail and the user will be denied access to the switch. • If the privilege level is higher than one, the user will be placed directly in Privileged EXEC mode. Note that all commands in Privileged EXEC mode require privilege level 15, so assigning a user a lower privilege level will be of no value. • A privilege level greater than 15 is invalid and treated as if privilege level zero had been supplied. RADIUS Authorization Example-Administrative Profiles The switch should use the same configuration as in the previous authorization example.
