The following example shows enabling authentication from the RADIUS server. Dell(config)# aaa authentication enable default radius tacacs Radius and TACACS server has to be properly setup for this. Dell(config)# radius-server host x.x.x.x key Dell(config)# tacacs-server host x.x.x.x key To use local authentication for enable secret on the console, while using remote authentication on VTY lines, issue the following commands. The following example shows enabling local authentication for console and remote authentication for the VTY lines. Dell(config)# aaa authentication enable mymethodlist radius tacacs Dell(config)# line vty 0 9 Dell(config-line-vty)# enable authentication mymethodlist Server-Side Configuration • TACACS+ - When using TACACS+, Dell Networking sends an initial packet with service type SVC_ENABLE, and then sends a second packet with just the password. The TACACS server must have an entry for username $enable$. • RADIUS - When using RADIUS authentication, FTOS sends an authentication packet with the following: Username: $enab15$ Password: Therefore, the RADIUS server must have an entry for this username. AAA Authorization Dell Networking OS enables AAA new-model by default. You can set authorization to be either local or remote. Different combinations of authentication and authorization yield different results. By default, Dell Networking OS sets both to local. Privilege Levels Overview Limiting access to the system is one method of protecting the system and your network. However, at times, you might need to allow others access to the router and you can limit that access to a subset of commands. In Dell Networking OS, you can configure a privilege level for users who need limited access to the system. Every command in Dell Networking OS is assigned a privilege level of 0, 1, or 15. You can configure up to 16 privilege levels in Dell Networking OS. Dell Networking OS is pre-configured with three privilege levels and you can configure 13 more. The three pre-configured levels are: • Privilege level 1 - is the default level for EXEC mode. At this level, you can interact with the router, for example, view some show commands and Telnet and ping to test connectivity, but you cannot configure the router. This level is often called the "user" level. One of the commands available in Privilege level 1 is the enable command, which you can use to enter a specific privilege level. • Privilege level 0 - contains only the end, enable, and disable commands. • Privilege level 15 - the default level for the enable command, is the highest level. In this level you can access any command in Dell Networking OS. 800 Security
