Enable Admin
Figure 10- 43. Enable Admin window
The Enable Admin window is for users who have
logged on to the Switch on the normal user level, an
d
wish to be promoted to the administrator level. Afte
r
logging on to the Switch, users will have only user level
p
rivileges. To gain access to administrator level
p
rivileges, the user will open this window and will have
to enter an authentication password. Possible
authentication methods for this function include
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS, use
r
defined server groups, local enable (local account o
n
the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because
XTACACS and TACACS do not support the enable
function, the user must create a special account on the
server host, which has the username "enable", and
a
p
assword configured by the administrator that will
support the "enable" function. This function becomes
inoperable when the authentication policy is disabled.
When this window appears, click the Enable Admin
button revealing a dialog box for the user to ente
r
authentication (password, username), as seen below. A
successful entry will promote the user to Administrato
r
level privileges on the Switch.
