Barracuda Networks VERSION SP4 manual Authentication, Switch Console Interface, Ethernet

14.2.5Switch Console Interface

For either administrative or informative purposes it is possible to connect to the switch using a telnet session. By default the console interface shows only little output. To enable higher verbosity it is recommended to enable debug information, as seen in the example, for various topics. To enable or disable debug logs it is required to enter the privileged exec mode.

To enter privileged exec mode, enter after initially authenticating following line:

•enable

Example enabling debug output:

•debug aaa authentication

•debug aaa authorization

•debug aaa accounting

•debug dot1x all

•debug eap all

Sample debug information for EAP should look something like this:
