Command Mode

Global Configuration mode

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 there is an authentication failure. 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.

Example

The following example configures authentication login.

console(config)# aaa authentication login default radius local

enable none

enable authentication

Use the enable authentication command in Line Configuration mode to specify the
authentication method list when accessing a higher privilege level from a remote telnet or console.
To return to the default specified by the enable authentication command, use the no form of this
command.
