User Guidelines

The default and optional list names created with the aaa authentication enable command are
used with the enable authentication command.

Create a list by entering the aaa authentication enable list-name method command 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. For example, if none is specified
as an authentication method after radius, no authentication is used if the RADIUS server is
down.

NOTE:

Requests sent by the switch to a RADIUS or TACACS server include the username "$enabx$.",

where x is the requested privilege level. For login to be authenticated on Radius and TACACS+ servers,
add "$enabx$" users to them.

Example

The following example sets authentication when accessing higher privilege levels.

console(config)# aaa authentication enable default enable

aaa authentication login

Use the aaa authentication login command in Global Configuration mode to set authentication at
login. To return to the default configuration, use the no form of this command.
