M5300, M6100, and M7100 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches User Account Commands This section describes the commands you use to add, manage, and delete system users. NETGEAR Managed Switch software has two default users: admin and guest. The admin user can view and configure system settings, and the guest user can view settings. Note: You cannot delete the admin user. There is only one user allowed with read/write privileges. You can configure up to five read-only users on the system. aaa authentication login Use this command to set authentication at login. The default and optional list names created with the command are used with the aaa authentication login command. Create a list by entering the aaa authentication login list-name method command, where list-name is any character string used to name this list. The method argument identifies the list of methods that the authentication algorithm tries, in the given sequence. The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an error, not if there is an authentication failure. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as the final method in the command line. For example, if none is specified as an authentication method after radius, no authentication is used if the RADIUS server is down. If you configure local as the first method in the list, the switch tries no other methods. Default Format Mode • defaultList. Used by the console and only contains the method none. • networkList. Used by telnet and SSH and only contains the method local. aaa authentication login {default | list-name} method1 [method2...] Global Config Parameter default list-name method1...
