user-globSingle user or set of users with administrative access over the network through Telnet or Web View. Specify a username, use the double-asterisk wildcard character

(**)to specify all usernames, or use the single-asterisk wildcard character (*) to specify a set of usernames up to or following the first delimiter character—either an at sign (@) or a period (.). (For details, see “User Globs” on page 6.)

method1-4At least one of up to four methods that MSS uses to handle authentication. Specify one or more of the following methods in priority order. MSS applies multiple methods in the order you enter them.

A method can be one of the following:

•local—Uses the local database of usernames and user groups on the switch for authentication.

•server-group-name—Uses the defined group of RADIUS servers for authentication. You can enter up to four names of existing RADIUS server groups as methods.

•none—For users with administrative access only, MSS performs no authentication, but prompts for a username and password and accepts any combination of entries, including blanks.

Note: The authentication method none you can specify for administrative access is different from the fallthru authentication type none, which applies only to network access. The authentication method none allows access to the switch by an administrator. The fallthru authentication type none denies access to a network user. For more information, see “Usage.”

Defaults: By default, authentication is deactivated for all console users, and the default authentication method in a console authentication rule is none. MSS requires no username or password, by default. These users can press Enter at the prompts for administrative access.

Note: D-Link recommends that you change the default setting unless the switch is in a secure physical location.

Access: Enabled.

Note: The syntax descriptions for the set authentication commands have been separated for clarity. However, the options and behavior for the set authentication console command are the same as in previous releases.
