AAA Commands

User Guidelines
•
The default and optional list names created with the aaa authentication login command are used with the
login authentication command.
• Create a list by entering the aaa authentication login list-name method command for a particular protocol,
where list-name is any character string used to name this list. The method argument identifies the list of
methods that the authentication algorithm tries, in the given sequence.
• The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an error, not if it fails.
To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as the final
method in the command line.
Example
The following example configures the authentication login.
aaa authentication enable
The aaa authentication enable Global Configuration mode command defines authentication method lists for
accessing higher privilege levels. Use the no form of this command to return to the default configuration.
Syntax
aaa authentication enable {default | list-name} method1 [method2...]
no aaa authentication enable {default | list-name}

when using higher privilege levels.

higher privilege levels (Range: 1-12 characters).

the same effect as using the command aaa authentication enable default enable none.
