11.2.3.12 Defining Authentication List Configuration Page

You use this screen to configure login lists. A login list specifies the authentication method(s) you want
used to validate switch or port access for the users associated with the list. The pre-configured users,
admin and guest, 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.
