AT-S62 Command Line User’s Guide

ENABLE AUTHENTICATION

Syntax

enable authentication

Parameters

None.

Description

Use this command to activate TACACS+ or RADIUS manager account authentication on your switch. Once the feature is enabled, you can use the manager accounts you created on the authentication server to log on and manage the switch.

Note

This command does not affect 802.1x port-based access control. If you are using the RADIUS authentication protocol for port-based access control but not for manager account authentication, you can leave authentication disabled and the switch will still be able to access the RADIUS configuration information for 802.1x port-based access control.

Example

The following command activates manager account authentication on your switch:

enable authentication
