Command Usage
■There are three authentication modes provided by the switch itself at login:
login selects authentication by a single global password as specified by the password line configuration command. When using this method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE) mode.
login local selects authentication using the user name and password specified by the username command (the default setting). When using this method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE) or Privileged Exec (PE) mode, depending on the user’s privilege level (0 or 15 respectively).
no login selects no authentication. When using this method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE) mode.
■This command controls login authentication through the switch itself. To configure user names and passwords for remote authentication servers, you must use the RADIUS or TACACS software installed on those servers.
