Nortel Networks 2300 manual Local Authentication

Configuring AAA for Administrative and Local Access 67

Local Authentication

The first time you access an WSS switch, it requires no authentication. (For more information, see “First-Time Configu- ration using the Console” on page 56.) In this scenario, after the initial configuration of the WSS switch, Natasha is connected through the console and has enabled access.

To enable local authentication for a console user, you must configure a local username. Natasha types the following commands in this order:

23x0# set user natasha password m@Jor User natasha created

23x0# set authentication console * local success: change accepted.

23x0# save config

success: configuration saved.
