(Examples of user level switching authentication configuration Keywords: user level switching authentication, radius, hwtaccs Abstract: This paper introduces in detail the configuration ideas and processes of three user level switching authentication combined with different login authentication methods. Networking requirements (1) all personnel of a department can log in to the gateway device by telnet. When logging in to the device, they need to enter the user name and password, and use the hwtaccs server for authentication. After the authentication, the command level that can be accessed is level 0 (access level), and the command of network diagnosis and other functions can be executed (such as ping). Where, the user name is the one carrying the domain name admin@bbb , password is 123456. (2) The administrator is allowed to switch his level to a higher level (3 in this example), and the hwtaccs server is required to authenticate when switching. When the remote super authentication is invalid (such as no response from the server or invalid AAA configuration), the local super authentication is required as a backup scheme to ensure that the switching operation can be completed. Among them, the level switching password of remote super authentication is pass3, and the level switching password of local super authentication is localpass.)
