Enable Method Lists
This window is used to set up Method Lists to promote users with user level privileges to Administrator (Admin) 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 Enable Method Lists can be implemented on the Switch, one of which is a default Enable Method List. This
default Enable Method List cannot be deleted but can be configured.
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 a "user" privilege.
NOTE:
To set the Local Enable Password, see the next section, entitled
Local Enable Password.
