Configuring an Authentication Profile

The commands in this example create a new authenticating profile that uses

the RADIUS server configured in the previous example to authenticate users

who attempt to access the switch management interface by using SSH or

Telnet. If the RADIUS authentication is unsuccessful, the switch uses the

local user database to attempt to authenticate the users.
To configure the switch:

1 Create a an access profile list that uses RADIUS as the first access method

and the local user database as the second login method.

console#configure

console(config)#aaa authentication login myList

radius local

2 Enter line configuration mode for Telnet and specify that any attempt to

access the switch by using Telnet are authenticated using the methods

defined in the profile created in the previous step.

console(config)#line telnet

console(config-telnet)#login authentication myList

console(config-telnet)#exit

3 Enter line configuration mode for SSH and specify that any attempt to

access the switch by using SSH are authenticated using the methods

defined in the myList profile.

console(config)#line ssh

console(config-ssh)#login authentication myList

console(config-ssh)#exit

console(config)#exit

NOTE:

The switch attempts to contact the primary RADIUS server that has

been configured on the switch. To see an example of how to configure a

RADIUS server on the switch, see "Configuring the Primary and Secondary

RADIUS Servers" on page 231.
