Each configured user is assigned to a login list that specifies how the user should be authenticated when attempting to access the switch or a port on the switch. After creating a new user account on the User Account screen, you should assign that user to a login list for the switch using this screen and, if necessary, to a login list for the ports using the Port Access Control User Login Configuration screen. If you need to create a new login list for the user, you would do so on the Login Configuration screen.

The pre-configured users are assigned to a pre-configured list named defaultList, which you may not delete. All newly created users are also assigned to the defaultList until you specifically assign them to a different list.

A user that does not have an account configured on the switch is termed the default or non- configured user. If you assign the non-configured user to a login list that specifies authentication via the RADIUS server, you will not need to create an account for all users on each switch. However, by default the non-configured user is assigned to defaultList, which by default uses local authentication.

User

Select the user you want to assign to a login list. Note that you must always

 

associate the admin user with the default list. This forces the admin user to always

 

be authenticated locally to prevent full lockout from switch configuration. If you

 

assign a user to a login list that requires remote authentication, the user’s access to

 

the switch from all CLI, web, and Telnet sessions will be blocked until the

 

authentication is complete.

Login

Select the authentication login list you want to assign to the user for system login.

Click the Apply button to cause the changes made on this screen to take effect on the switch click. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.
