Configuring Web-based AAA for administrative and local access 75

Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide

You can configure the console so that authentication is required, or so that no authentication is required. Nortel 
recommends that you enforce authentication on the console port.

To enforce console authentication, take the following steps:

Add a user in the local database by typing the following command with a username and 
password:

WSS#

 set user username password password

success: change accepted.

To enforce the use of console authentication via the local database, type the following 
command:

WSS# set authentication console * local

To store this configuration into nonvolatile memory, type the following command:

WSS# 

success: configuration saved.

By default, no authentication is required at the console. If you have previously required authentication and 
have decided not to require it (during testing, for example), type the following command to configure the 
console so that it does not require username and password authentication:

WSS

# set authentication console * none 

If you type this command before you have created a local username 

and password, you can lock yourself out of the WSS. Before entering this 
command, you must configure a local username and password.

The authentication method none you can specify for administrative access is 

different from the fallthru authentication type None, which applies only to network access. 
The authentication method none allows access to the WSS by an administrator. The 
fallthru authentication type None denies access to a network user. (For information about 
the fallthru authentication types, see 

.)
