- None- The user cannot be authenticated.
- Radius- The user's ID and password are authenticated using the RADIUS server
instead of local server.

If the first method times out, the next method is selected.

Enable an Authentication List
You can configure enable lists. A enable list specifies the authentication method(s) you use to
validate privileged EXEC access for the users associated with the list. The preconfigured
users, admin and guest, are assigned to a preconfigured list named defaultList, which you
cannot delete. All newly created users are also assigned to the defaultList until you
specifically assign them to a different list
Two default lists are present: enableList and enableNetList.
 To configure the enable authentication list:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for
example, 169.254.100.201.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on
the switch.
3. Launch a web browser.
4. Enter the IP address of the switch in the web browser address field.
The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100.
