Using remote

and LDAP
authentications)
Configure the user privilege level
on the authentication server
• For remote authentication, if
you do not configure the user
privilege level, the user
privilege level depends on the
default configuration of the
authentication server.
Example of configuring a user privilege level by using AAA authentication parameters
# You are required to authenticate the users that Telnet to the switch through VTY 1, verify their username and
password, and specify the user privilege level as 3.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] user-interface vty 1
[Sysname-ui-vty1] authentication-mode scheme
[Sysname-ui-vty1] quit
[Sysname] local-user test
[Sysname-luser-test] password cipher 12345678
[Sysname-luser-test] service-type telnet
When users Telnet to the switch through VTY 1, they must enter username test and password 12345678. After
passing the authentication, the users can only use the commands of level 0. If the users want to use
commands of levels 0, 1, 2 and 3, the following configuration is required:
[Sysname-luser-test] authorization-attribute level 3
Configuring the user privilege level under a user interface
• If the authentication mode of a user interface is scheme, and SSH publickey authentication type (only a
username is needed for this authentication type) is adopted, the user privilege level of users logging
into the user interface is the user interface level.
• If the authentication mode of a user interface is none or password, the user privilege level of users
logging into the user interface is the user interface level.

Required if the SSH login mode is
adopted, and only username is

After the configuration, the
authentication mode of the
corresponding user interface must
be set to scheme.
