ENABLE AUTHENTICATION

Syntax

enable authentication

Parameters

None.

Description

Use this command to activate TACACS+ or RADIUS manager account
authentication on your switch. To select an authenticator protocol, refer
to SET AUTHENTICATION on page 157.

Note

This command applies only to TACACS+ and RADIUS manager
accounts. This command does not effect 802.1x port-based access
control. If you are using the RADIUS authentication protocol for
802.1x port-based access control, but not for manager account
authentication, you do not need to enable authentication. You can
leave the RADIUS manager account feature disabled and the switch
will still have access to the RADIUS configuration information for
802.1x port-based access control.

Example

The following command enables manager account authentication on
the switch:

enable authentication
