 Switch Auditing

Switch auditing enhances network security by logging sensitive administrative actions. Switch auditing logs the

following actions:



Successful login



Unsuccessful attempt to login



Logout out from the switch



Timed out logout from the switch



Download file to the switch



Upload file from the switch



Remove file from the flash



File changes on the flash



Clear configuration



Add or remove user



Change user access level

Use of a SYSLOG server for monitoring network events is highly recommended.

 Authentication

The PowerConnect switches support authentication via a number of methods. The methods are specified in named lists.

Lists may be assigned to the enable and login access methods. The supported authentication methods are:



Enable



Line



RADIUS



TACACS



IAS



Local



None

Methods are attempted in the order specified in the authentication list. If the authentication method rejects

authentication, the user login is rejected. If an authentication method fails, e.g. unable to contact the authentication

server, the next method in the list is attempted. Only the RADIUS and TACACS methods can fail and therefore should

be specified first in an authentication list. The other methods will never fail and therefore should be specified after

RADIUS or TACACS in a list.

The 802.1x authentication list cannot be named and only supports the RADIUS, IAS, or none authentication methods.

802.1x authentication supports a single authentication method, not a list of methods.
