AAA Commands

221

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 authenticate the user. Only the

RADIUS or TACACS methods can return an error. To ensure that the

authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as

the final method in the command line. Note that enable will not succeed for

a level one user if no authentication method is defined. A level one user must

authenticate to get to privileged EXEC mode. 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 server include the username

"$enabx$", where x is the requested privilege level. For enable to be authenticated

on Radius servers, add "$enabx$" users to them. The login user ID is also sent to

TACACS+ servers for enable authentication.

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 the authentication method required for user at login. To return to the

default configuration, use the no form of this command.
