For enhanced security, you can enable user authentication to enter Privileged EXEC command mode. Use the sys priv-exec-password command to enable password authentication.
After you enable password authentication for Privileged EXEC command mode, the system prompts you to enter a password to access Privileged EXEC command mode from User EXEC command mode. You must enter the same password that you used to log on to the switch.
The same user name and password used to Telnet or SSH to the switch is used to access Privileged EXEC command mode when authentication is enabled.
RADIUS and TACACS+ protocols are supported. If RADIUS and TACACS+ servers are not reachable, access to Privileged EXEC command mode is denied. You must open a new session and type the same user name and password used to Telnet or SSH to the switch.
