ENABLE AUTHENTICATION

Syntax

enable authentication

Parameters

None.

Description

Use this command to activate TACACS+ or RADIUS manager account
authentication on your switch. Once the feature is enabled, you can use
the manager accounts you created on the authentication server to log
on and manage the switch.

Note

This command does not affect 802.1x port-based access control. If
you are using the RADIUS authentication protocol for port-based
access control but not for manager account authentication, you can
leave authentication disabled and the switch will still be able to
access the RADIUS configuration information for 802.1x port-based
access control.

Example

The following command activates manager account authentication on
your switch:

enable authentication
