Enable multi-factor authentication on the
switch
If you enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on the switch, it applies to the following
types of access:
•
Main UI
•
CLI access over Telnet
•
CLI access over SSH
MFA does not apply to console access.
You can set up MFA for an individual user (see Add or change a user account on page
627) and configure the email address that is used for one time passwords (OTPs), but in
order for MFA to take effect, MFA must also be globally enabled on the switch.
For information about how to use the CLI to configure a mail server on the switch, see
the CLI manual, which you download by visiting
