(Available only if the primary method of authentication for the access being configured is local.) Note: If you do not specify this parameter in the command line, the switch automatically assigns the secondary method as follows: • If the primary method is tacacs, the only secondary method is local. • If the primary method is local, the default secondary method is none. In a given session, specifies how many tries at entering the correct username/password pair are allowed before access is denied and the session terminated. Configuring the TACACS+ Server for Single Login In order for the single login feature to work correctly, you need to check some entries in the User Setup on the TACACS+ server. In the User Setup, scroll to the Advanced TACACS+ Settings section. Make sure the radio button for "Max Privilege for any AAA Client" is checked and the level is set to 15, as shown in Figure 4-4. Privileges are represented by the numbers 0 through 15, with zero allowing only Operator privileges (and requiring two logins) and 15 representing root privileges. The root privilege level is the only level that will allow Manager level access on the switch. 4-13

TACACS+ Authentication
Configuring TACACS+ on the Switch
Configuring the TACACS+ Server for Single Login
In order for the single login feature to work correctly, you need to check some
entries in the User Setup on the TACACS+ server.
In the User Setup, scroll to the Advanced TACACS+ Settings section. Make
sure the radio button for “Max Privilege for any AAA Client” is checked and
the level is set to 15, as shown in Figure 4-4. Privileges are represented by the
numbers 0 through 15, with zero allowing only Operator privileges (and
requiring two logins) and 15 representing root privileges. The root privilege
level is the only level that will allow Manager level access on the switch.

No secondary type of authentication for the specified
method/privilege path.
(Available only if the primary method of
authentication for the access being configured is local.)
Note:
If you do not specify this parameter in the command line, the
switch automatically assigns the secondary method as follows:
If the primary method is
tacacs
, the
only
secondary method is
local
.
If the primary method is
