Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To prevent other users from switching from the Admin-VS to a service VS, you can run this command to enable login authentication for switching from the Admin-VS to a service VS. After this function is enabled, user name and password authentication is required when the switch virtual-system command is run to switch from the Admin-VS to a service VS.

Precautions

Before enabling login authentication for switching from the Admin-VS to a service VS, ensure that valid and available users (local AAA users or remote users) have been configured for the service VS.
