RADIUS security
The command above causes RADIUS to be the primary authentication method for securing access
to Privileged EXEC level and CONFIG levels of the CLI. If RADIUS authentication fails due to an error
with the server, local authentication is used instead. If local authentication fails, no authentication
is used; the device automatically permits access.
Syntax: [no] aaa authentication enable | login default method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]
[method5] [method6] [method7]
The enable | login parameter specifies the type of access this authentication-method list controls.
You can configure one authentication-method list for each type of access.
The method1 parameter specifies the primary authentication method. The remaining optional
method parameters specify additional methods to try if an error occurs with the primary method. A
method can be one of the values listed in the Method Parameter column in the following table.
NOTE
For examples of how to define authentication-method lists for types of authentication other than
RADIUS, refer to
“Authentication-method lists” on page 58.
