Configuring and Applying Authentication Profiles

Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to create

an authentication list, configure the authentication methods for that list, and

apply the list to an access method.

Command

Purpose

configure

Enter Global Configuration mode.

aaa authentication login

{default|

list-name}

method1 [method2...]

Configure the methods used to authenticate a user

attempting to log onto the switch management interface.

The command configures the default list or creates a new

authentication list and defines its authentication methods.

default — Uses the listed authentication methods that

follow this argument as the default list of methods when

a user logs in.

list-name — Character string used to name the list of

authentication methods activated when a user logs in.

(Range: 1-12 characters)

method1 [method2...] — Specify at least one method

from the following list:
– enable
– line
– local
– none
– radius
– tacacs

NOTE:

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.

aaa authentication

enable {default|

list-

name} method1

[

method2...]

Configure the authentication for accessing Privileged

EXEC mode and higher privilege levels. See the previous

command for information about the keywords, variables,

and usage.
