aaa accounting through accounting-server-group Commands
aaa accounting include, exclude
To enable, disable, or view TACACS+, or RADIUS user accounting (on a server designated by the aaa-server host command), use the aaa accounting command in global configuration mode. To disable these functions use the no form of this command.
aaa accounting {include | exclude} service interface-name local-ip local-mask foreign-ip foreign-mask server-tag
no aaa accounting {include | exclude} service interface-name local-ip local-mask foreign-ip foreign-mask server-tag
aaa accounting {include | exclude} service interface-name server-tag
no aaa accounting {include | exclude} service interface-name server-tag
Syntax Description
Defaults
For protocol/port, the TCP protocol appears as 6, the UDP protocol appears as 17, and so on, and port is the TCP or UDP destination port. A port value of 0 (zero) means all ports. For protocols other than TCP and UDP, the port is not applicable and should not be used.
By default, AAA accounting for administrative access is disabled.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
User accounting services keep a record of which network services a user has accessed. These records are kept on the designated AAA server or servers. Accounting information is sent only to the active server in a server group unless you enable simultaneous accounting.
Before you can use this command, you must first designate an AAA server with the aaa-server command.
To enable accounting for traffic that is specified by an access list, use the aaa accounting match command.
Note
For outbound connections, first use the nat command to determine which IP addresses can access the FWSM. For inbound connections, first use the static and access-list extended command statements to determine which inside IP addresses can be accessed through the FWSM from the outside network.
If you want to allow connections to come from any host, code the local IP address and netmask as 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0, or 0 0. The same convention applies to the foreign host IP address and netmask; 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 means any foreign host.
Examples
The following example enables accounting on all connections:
hostname(config)# aaa-server mygroup protocol tacacs+hostname(config)# aaa-server mygroup (inside) host 192.168.10.10 thekey timeout 20hostname(config)# aaa authentication include any inside 0 0 0 0 mygrouphostname(config)# aaa authorization include any inside 0 0 0 0 mygrouphostname(config)# aaa accounting include any inside 0 0 0 0 mygrouphostname(config)# aaa authentication ssh console mygroupThis example specifies that the authentication server with the IP address 192.168.10.10 resides on the inside interface and is in the TACACS+ server group. The next three command statements specify that any users starting outbound connections to any foreign host will be authenticated using TACACS+, that the users who are successfully authenticated are authorized to use any service, and that all outbound connection information will be logged in the accounting database. The last command statement specifies that SSH access to the FWSM console requires authentication from the TACACS+ server.
Related Commands
aaa accounting command
To configure command accounting so that the FWSM sends to the accounting server each command entered by an administrator, use the aaa accounting command command in global configuration mode. To disable support for AAA command privilege accounting, use the no form of this command. The aaa accounting command command indicates the minimum level that must be associated with a command for an accounting record to be generated.
aaa accounting command [ privilege level ] server-tag
no aaa accounting command [ privilege level ] server-tag
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default privilege level is 0. By default, AAA command-privilege accounting for administrative access is disabled.

Usage Guidelines
When you configure the aaa accounting command command, each command entered by an administrator/user is recorded and sent to the accounting server or servers. The optional privilege specification indicates the minimum privilege level that must be associated with a command for an accounting record to be generated.
This command applies only to TACACS+ servers.
You must specify the name of the server or group, previously specified in an aaa-server command, to which this command applies.
Examples
The following example specifies that accounting records will be generated for any command at privilege level 6 or higher, and that these records are sent to the server from the group named adminserver.
hostname(config)# aaa accounting command privilege 6 adminserverRelated Commands
aaa accounting console
To enable support for AAA accounting for administrative access, use the aaa accounting console command in global configuration mode. To disable support for accounting for administrative access, use the no form of this command.
aaa accounting {telnet | ssh | enable} console server-tag
no aaa accounting {telnet | ssh | enable} console server-tag
Syntax Description

aaa accounting match
To enable accounting for traffic that is identified by an access list, use the aaa accounting match command in global configuration mode. To disable accounting for traffic that is identified by an access list, use the no form of this command. The aaa accounting match command specifies an access list name that must be matched, as well as an interface name and a server tag.
aaa accounting match acl-name interface-name server-tag
no aaa accounting match acl-name interface-name server-tag
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.

Usage Guidelines
The acl-name is defined by the access-list command.
In an ACL, permit = perform accounting and deny = do not perform accounting.
The AAA server group tag is defined by the aaa-server command. Before you can use this command, you must first designate an AAA server with the aaa-server command.
User accounting services keep a record of which network services a user has accessed. These records are kept on the designated AAA server or servers. Accounting information is sent only to the active server in a server group unless simultaneous accounting is enabled. The aaa accounting match command requires that a user specify an ACL name that must be matched before the accounting action can take place.
The ACL name can be either a number or an alphanumeric name.
Examples
The following example enables accounting for traffic matching a specific ACL, acl2, followed by the output of the show access-list command that displays the access list:
hostname(config) # aaa accounting match acl2 outside radserver1hostname(config) # show access-list acl12access-list acl12; 1 elementsaccess-list acl12 line 1 extended permit tcp any any (hitcnt=54021)Related Commands
aaa authentication challenge disable
To disable authentication challenge for FTP, Telnet, HTTP, or HTTPS, use the aaa authentication challenge disable command in global configuration mode. To reset the FWSM to default authentication, use the no form of this command.
aaa authentication {ftp | telnet | http | https } challenge disable
no aaa authentication {ftp | telnet | http | https } challenge disable
Syntax Description
Defaults
By default, if you enable authentication using the aaa authentication match or aaa authentication [include | exclude] commands, authentication challenge is enabled for FTP, Telnet, HTTP, and HTTPS.
Command Modes

Command History
Usage Guidelines
You can configure whether the FWSM challenges users for a username and password. By default, the FWSM prompts the user when a AAA rule enforces authentication for traffic in a new session and the protocol of the traffic is FTP, Telnet, HTTP, or HTTPS. In some cases, you may want to disable the authentication challenge for one or more of these protocols. You can use the aaa authentication challenge command to do so.
If you disable challenge authentication for a particular protocol, traffic using that protocol is allowed only if the traffic belongs to a session previously authenticated. This authentication can be accomplished by traffic using a protocol whose authentication challenge remains enabled. For example, if you disable challenge authentication for FTP, the FWSM denies a new session using FTP if the traffic is included in an authentication rule. If the user establishes the session with a protocol whose authentication challenge is enabled (such as HTTP), FTP traffic is allowed.
Examples
The following example permits inbound access to a TCP IP address in the range of 209.165.201.1 through 209.165.201.30 indicated by the 209.165.201.0 network address (subnet mask 255.255.255.224). All services are permitted by the access-list command, and the aaa authentication command requires authentication. The authentication server is at IP address 10.16.1.20 on the inside interface. The final command disables challenge authentication for FTP, which means that users whose sessions are identifed by the aaa authentication include command must be authenticated by Telnet, HTTP, or HTTPS, and not by FTP.

aaa authentication console
To do any of the following, use the aaa authentication console command in global configuration mode:
•
•
•
To disable this authentication service, use the no form of this command.
aaa authentication {enable | telnet | ssh | http} console server-tag [LOCAL]
no aaa authentication {enable | telnet | ssh | http} console server-tag [LOCAL]
Syntax Description
Defaults
By default, fallback to the local database is disabled.
If a aaa authentication http console server-tag command statement is not defined, you can gain access to the FWSM (via ASDM) with no username and the FWSM enable password (set with the password command). If the aaa commands are defined, but the HTTP authentication requests a time out, which implies the AAA servers might be down or not available, you can gain access to the FWSM using the default administrator username and the enable password. By default, the enable password is not set.

Command History
1.1(1)
This command was introduced.
2.2(1)
This command was modified to support fallback to LOCAL.
Usage Guidelines
The aaa authentication console command enables or disables authentication on entry to privileged mode, lets you require authentication verification to access the FWSM via the specified type of connection, or supports administrative authentication fallback.
Telnet access requires previous use of the telnet command. SSH access requires previous use of the ssh command.
Using the aaa authentication console command requires that you have previously used the aaa-server command to designate an authentication server, unless you have specified LOCAL as the server-group protocol. The aaa authentication console command supports RADIUS and TACACS+ groups.
Except as noted in "Defaults," if you are using HTTP authentication, the FWSM requires authentication verification of the HTTP server through the aaa authentication http console command.
When an administrator requests an action that requires authentication, the FWSM initiates an authentication session with servers from the server group specified. If the system is unable to communicate with any server from this group.
To configure administrative authentication to support fallback to the local user database if all servers in the specified server group are unavailable, use the aaa authentication command with the LOCAL option specified. This feature is disabled by default.
The maximum username prompt for HTTP authentication is 30 characters. The maximum password length is 16 characters.
As the following table shows, the action of the prompts for authenticated access to the FWSM console differ, depending on the option you choose with the aaa authentication console command.
enable
3 tries before access is denied
ssh
3 tries before access is denied
telnet
Continual until success
http
Continual until success
The ssh option specifies the group of AAA servers to be used for SSH user authentication. The authentication protocol and AAA server IP addresses are defined with the aaa-server command statement.
Similar to the Telnet model, if a aaa authentication ssh console server-tag command statement is not defined, you can gain access to the FWSM console with the username pix and with the FWSM Telnet password (set with the passwd command). If the aaa command is defined, but the SSH authentication requests time out (which implies the AAA servers may be down or not available), you can gain access to the FWSM using administrator username and the enable password (set with the enable password command). By default, the Telnet password is cisco and the enable password is not set.
The prompts users see requesting AAA credentials differ among the services that can access the FWSM for authentication: Telnet, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS:
•
•
authentication-user-name@remote-system-user-nameauthentication-password@remote-system-passwordIf you daisy-chain FWSMs, Telnet authentication works in the same way as a single unit, but FTP and HTTP users must enter each password and username with an additional "at" (@) character and password or username for each daisy-chained system. Users can exceed the 63-character password limit, depending on how many units are daisy-chained and password length.
Some FTP graphical user interfaces (GUIs) do not display challenge values.
•
The FWSM accepts only 7-bit characters during authentication. After authentication, the client and server can negotiate for 8 bits, if required. During authentication, the FWSM negotiates only Go-Ahead, Echo, and NVT (network virtual terminal).
HTTP Authentication
When using HTTP authentication to a site running Microsoft IIS that has "Basic text authentication" or "NT Challenge" enabled, users might be denied access from the Microsoft IIS server. This occurs because the browser appends the string: "Authorization: Basic=Uuhjksdkfhk==" to the HTTP GET commands. This string contains the FWSM authentication credentials.
Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) servers respond to the credentials and assume that a Windows NT user is trying to access privileged pages on the server. Unless the FWSM username-password combination is exactly the same as a valid Windows NT username and password combination on the Microsoft IIS server, the HTTP GET command is denied.
To solve this problem, the FWSM provides the virtual http command, which redirects the initial connection of the browser to another IP address, authenticates the user, then redirects the browser back to the URL that the user originally requested.
Once authenticated, a user never has to reauthenticate, no matter how low the FWSM uauth timeout is set, because the browser caches the "Authorization: Basic=Uuhjksdkfhk==" string in every subsequent connection to that particular site. This can be cleared only when the user exits all instances of Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer and restarts. Flushing the cache is of no use.
As long as the user repeatedly browses the Internet, the browser resends the "Authorization: Basic=Uuhjksdkfhk==" string to transparently reauthenticate the user.
Multimedia applications such as CU-SeeMe, Intel Internet Phone, MeetingPoint, and MS NetMeeting silently start the HTTP service before an H.323 session is established from the inside to the outside.
Network browsers such as Netscape Navigator do not present a challenge value during authentication; therefore, only password authentication can be used from a network browser.
Note
TACACS+ and RADIUS servers
You can have up to 15 single-mode groups or 4 multi-mode groups. Each group can have up to 16 servers in single mode or 4 servers in multi-mode. The servers can be either TACACS+ or RADIUS servers. When a user logs in, the servers are accessed one at a time starting with the first server you specify in the configuration, until a server responds.
For the TACACS+ server, if you do not specify a key to the aaa-server command, no encryption occurs.
The FWSM displays the same timeout message for both RADIUS and TACACS+. The message "aaa server host machine not responding" displays when either of the following occurs:
•
•
Examples
The following examples show the use of the aaa authentication console command.
Example 1:
The following example shows use of the aaa authentication console command for a Telnet connection to a RADIUS server with the server tag "radius":
hostname(config)# aaa authentication telnet console radiusExample 2:
The following example identifies the server group "AuthIn" for administrative authentication.
hostname(config)# aaa authentication enable console AuthInExample 3:
The following example shows use of the aaa authentication console command with fallback to the LOCAL user database if all the servers in the group "svrgrp1" fail:

aaa authentication include, exclude
To include or exclude user authentication for traffic through the FWSM, use the aaa authentication include or exclude command in global configuration mode. To disable user authentication, use the no form of this command.
aaa authentication include | exclude authentication-service interface-name local-ip local-mask [foreign-ip foreign-mask] server-tag
no aaa authentication include | exclude authentication-service interface-name local-ip local-mask [foreign-ip foreign-mask] server-tag

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Authentication lets you control access by requiring a valid username and password. You can configure the FWSM to authenticate the following items:
•
–
–
–
–
•
•
Each authentication server has a single pool of users. If you use the same server for multiple authentication rules and types, then a user needs to authenticate only one time for all rules and types, until the session expires. For example, if you configure the FWSM to authenticate Telnet and FTP, and a user successfully authenticates for Telnet, then as long as the session exists, the user does not also have to authenticate for FTP.
To include or exclude traffic for authentication, you must designate an authentication server with the aaa-server command before using the aaa authentication command. Each combination of local and foreign IP addresses can have one aaa authentication command for inbound connections and one for outbound connections. A session whose IP address is identified by the aaa-server authentication command starts a connection through FTP, Telnet, HTTP, or HTTPS and is prompted for a username and password. If the username and password are verified by the designated authentication server, the FWSM allows further traffic between the authenticating host and the client address.
Use the interface-name, local-ip, and foreign-ip variables to define where access is sought and from whom. The address for local-ip is always on the highest security level interface and foreign-ip is always on the lowest.
Note
You cannot use aaa include or exclude commands in the same configuration as aaa match commands.
For the local and foreign IP address masks, you can use 0 as a shorthand representation if the IP address is 0.0.0.0. Use 255.255.255.255 for a host.
The authentication servers determine whether a user can or cannot access the system, what services can be accessed, and what IP addresses the user can access. The FWSM proxies FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet to display the credentials prompts.
Note
local access authentication
To configure a AAA server (TACACS+, RADIUS, or LOCAL) to authenticate administrators, choose one of the following access authentication service options: telnet for Telnet access, ssh for SSH access, http for HTTP access, and enable for enable-mode access.
cut-through authentication
For cut-through proxy and "to the box" authentication, you can also use the local FWSM user authentication database by specifying the server group tag LOCAL. If LOCAL is specified for server-tag and the local user credential database is empty, the following warning message appears:
Warning:local database is empty! Use 'username' command to define local users.Conversely, if the local database becomes empty when LOCAL is still present in the command, the following warning message appears:
Warning:Local user database is empty and there are still commands using 'LOCAL' for authentication.The cut-through authentication service options are as follows: telnet, ftp, http, https, ip, icmp/type, proto, tcp/port, and udp/port. The variable proto can be any supported IP protocol value or name: for example, ip or igmp. Only Telnet, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS traffic triggers interactive user authentication.
The authentication ports that the FWSM supports for AAA are fixed:
•
•
•
•
For this reason, do not use Static PAT to reassign ports for services you want to authenticate. In other words, when the port to authenticate is not one of the three known ports, the FWSM rejects the connection instead of authenticating it.
You can enter an ICMP message type number for type to include or exclude that specific ICMP message type from authentication. For example, icmp/8 includes or excludes type 8 (echo request) ICMP messages.
The tcp/0 option enables authentication for all TCP traffic, which includes FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet. When a specific port is specified, only the traffic with a matching destination port is included or excluded for authentication. Note that FTP, Telnet, HTTP, and HTTPS are equivalent to tcp/21, tcp/23, tcp/80, and tcp/443, respectively.
If you specify ip, all IP traffic is included or excluded for authentication, depending on whether include or exclude is specified. When all IP traffic is included for authentication, following are the expected behaviors:
•
•
Enabling Authentication
The aaa authentication command enables or disables the following features:
•
•
The prompts users see requesting AAA credentials differ among the services that can access the FWSM for authentication.
Note
You can specify an interface name with the aaa authentication command. For example, if you specified aaa authentication include tcp outside 0 0 server-tag, the FWSM authenticates a TCP connection originating on the outside interface.
Note
TACACS+ and RADIUS servers
You can have up to 15 single-mode server groups or 4 multi-mode server groups. Each group can have up to 16 servers in single mode or 4 servers in multi-mode. The servers can be either TACACS+ or RADIUS servers—set with the aaa-server command. When a user logs in, the servers are accessed one at a time starting with the first server you specify in the configuration, until a server responds.
The FWSM permits only one authentication type per network. For example, if one network connects through the FWSM using TACACS+ for authentication, another network connecting through the FWSM can authenticate with RADIUS, but one network cannot authenticate with both TACACS+ and RADIUS.
Note
Examples
The following examples show some uses of the aaa authentication command:
Example 1:
The following example includes for authentication TCP traffic on the outside interface, with a local IP address of 192.168.0.0 and a netmask of 255.255.0.0, with a remote/foreign IP address of all hosts, and using a server named "tacacs+". The second command line excludes Telnet traffic on the outside interface with a local address of 192.168.38.0, with a remote/foreign IP address of all hosts:
hostname(config)# aaa authentication include tcp outside 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tacacs+hostname(config)# aaa authentication exclude telnet outside 192.168.38.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tacacs+Example 2:
The following examples demonstrate ways to use the interface-name parameter. The FWSM has an inside network of 192.168.1.0, an outside network of 209.165.201.0 (subnet mask 255.255.255.224), and a perimeter network of 209.165.202.128 (subnet mask 255.255.255.224).
This example enables authentication for connections originated from the inside network to the outside network:
hostname(config)# aaa authentication include tcp inside 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 tacacs+Example 3:
This example enables authentication for connections originated from the inside network to the perimeter network:
hostname(config)#aaa authentication include tcp inside 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.202.128 255.255.255.224 tacacs+Example 4:
This example enables authentication for connections originated from the outside network to the inside network:
hostname(config)# aaa authentication include tcp outside 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 tacacs+Example 5:
This example enables authentication for connections originated from the outside network to the perimeter network:
hostname(config)# aaa authentication include tcp outside 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224 209.165.202.128 255.255.255.224 tacacs+Example 6:
This example enables authentication for connections originated from the perimeter network to the outside network:

This example specifies that IP addresses 10.0.0.1 through 10.0.0.254 must be authenticated by the FWSM when establishing connections through the outside interface. In this example, the first aaa authentication command requires authentication of all FTP, HTTP, and Telnet sessions. The second aaa authentication command lets host 10.0.0.42 start outbound connections without being authenticated. This example uses a server group named tacacs+.

All services are permitted by the access-list command, and the aaa authentication command requires authentication on HTTP. The authentication server is at IP address 10.16.1.20 on the inside interface.

aaa authentication match
To enable the use of a specified access list that must be matched to enable LOCAL, TACACS+, or RADIUS user authentication on a server designated by the aaa-server command or ASDM user authentication, use the aaa authentication match command in global configuration mode. To disable the requirement to match a specified access list, use the no form of this command. The aaa authentication match command specifies the name of an access list, previously defined in an access-list command, that must be matched, and then provides authentication for that match.
aaa authentication match acl-name interface-name server-tag
no aaa authentication match acl-name interface-name server-tag
Syntax Description
acl-name
An access-list command statement name.
interface-name
The interface name from which to authenticate users.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Using the aaa authentication match command requires that you have previously used the aaa-server command to designate an authentication server—unless you specify LOCAL, and that you have previously used the access-list command to define a named access list. Do not use an access-list command statement that uses the source port to identify matching traffic. The source port is not supported in the match criteria of the aaa authentication match command.
Use the interface-name variable to define where access is sought.
For cut-through proxy, you can also use the local user authentication database by specifying the server group tag LOCAL. If LOCAL is specified for server-tag and the local user credential database is empty, the following warning message appears:
Warning: local database is empty! Use `username' command to define localisms.Conversely, if the local database becomes empty when LOCAL is still present in the command, the following warning message appears:
Warning: local database is empty and there are still commands using `LOCAL' for authentication.You cannot use aaa include or exclude commands in the same configuration as aaa match commands.

When used for command authorization, the aaa authorization command command does not require previous configuration with the aaa authentication command.
The aaa authorization command is supported for use with TACACS+ servers and with LOCAL servers (only for command authorization), but not with RADIUS servers.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable command authorization using a TACACS+ server group named tplus1:

aaa authorization include, exclude
To enable or disable user authorization for services on the specified host, use the aaa authorization command in global configuration mode. To disable user authorization services for a specified host, use the no form of this command. The authentication server determines what services the user is authorized to access.
aaa authorization {include | exclude} service interface-name local-ip local-mask foreign-ip foreign-mask server-tag
no aaa authorization {include | exclude} service interface-name local-ip local-mask foreign-ip foreign-mask server-tag
Syntax Description
Defaults
An IP address of 0 means "all hosts." Setting the local IP address to 0 lets the authorization server decide which hosts are authorized.
Fallback to the local database for authorization is disabled by default.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Except for its use with command authorization, the aaa authorization command requires previous configuration with the aaa authentication command; however, use of the aaa authentication command does not require use of a aaa authorization command.
The FWSM supports RADIUS authorization with the aaa authorization command only when authentication is performed with a different protocol. RADIUS servers return authorization information along with replies to authentication requests. See the description of the aaa authentication command. The aaa authorization command is permitted with LOCAL servers, only for command authorization, and with RADIUS or TACACS+ servers. You can set a dynamic ACL at the RADIUS server to provide authorization (even if it is not configured on the FWSM).
When VPN authorization is defined as LOCAL, the attributes configured in the default group policy DfltGrpPolicy are enforced. This affects the settings in the tunnel-group command.
For each IP address, one aaa authorization command is permitted. If you want to authorize more than one service with aaa authorization, use the any parameter for the service type.
If the first attempt at authorization fails and a second attempt causes a timeout, use the service resetinbound command to reset the client that failed the authorization so that it will not retransmit any connections. An example authorization timeout message in Telnet follows.
Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed outUser authorization services control which network services a user can access. After a user is authenticated, attempts to access restricted services cause the FWSM to verify the access permissions of the user with the designated AAA server.
Note
When specifying the foreign (destination) IP address, use 0 to indicate all hosts. For the destination and local masks, always specify a specific mask value. Use a mask of 0 if the IP address is 0, and use a mask of 255.255.255.255 for a host.
You cannot use aaa include or exclude commands in the same configuration as aaa match commands.
service Parameter
Services not specified are authorized implicitly. Services specified in the aaa authentication command do not affect the services that require authorization.
For protocol/port:
•
•
hostname(config)# aaa authorization include udp/53-1024 outside 0 0 0 0This example shows how to enable authorization for DNS lookups to the inside interface for all clients and authorizes access to any other services that have ports in the range of 53 to 1024.
A specific authorization rule does not require the equivalent authentication. Authentication is required only with FTP, HTTP, or Telnet to provide an interactive way for the user to enter the authorization credentials.
Note
The valid values for the service option are telnet, ftp, http, https, ip, tcp or 0, tcp or port, udp or port, icmp or port, or protocol [/port]. Only the Telnet, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic triggers user interactive authentication.
Examples
The following example uses the TACACS+ protocol:
hostname(config)#aaa-server tplus1 protocol tacacs+hostname(config)#aaa-server tplus1 (inside) host 10.1.1.10 thekey timeout 20hostname(config)#aaa authentication include any inside 0 0 0 0 tplus1hostname(config)#aaa authorization include any inside 0 0 0 0hostname(config)#aaa accounting include any inside 0 0 0 0 tplus1hostname(config)#aaa authentication ssh console tplus1In this example, the first command statement creates a server group named tplus1 and specifies the TACACS+ protocol for use with this group. The second command specifies that the authentication server with the IP address 10.1.1.10 resides on the inside interface and is in the tplus1 server group. The next three command statements specify that any users starting connections through the outside interface to any foreign host will be authenticated using the tplus1 server group, that the users who are successfully authenticated are authorized to use any service, and that all outbound connection information will be logged in the accounting database. The last command statement specifies that SSH access to the FWSM console requires authentication from the tplus1 server group.
The following example enables authorization for DNS lookups from the outside interface:
hostname(config)#aaa authorization include udp/53 outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0The following example enables authorization of ICMP echo-reply packets arriving at the inside interface from inside hosts:
hostname(config)#aaa authorization include 1/0 inside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0This means that users cannot ping external hosts if they have not been authenticated using Telnet, HTTP, or FTP.
The following example enables authorization only for ICMP echoes (pings) that arrive at the inside interface from an inside host:
hostname(config)#aaa authorization include 1/8 inside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0Related Commands
aaa authorization match
To enable authorization for connections through the FWSM, use the aaa authorization match command in global configuration mode. To disable authorization, use the no form of this command.

Command History
1.1(1)
This command was introduced.
3.1(1)
This command was modified to support RADIUS servers for VPN management connection authorization.
Usage Guidelines
You cannot use the aaa authorization match command in the same configuration as the include and exclude commands. We suggest that you use the match command instead of the include and exclude commands; the include and exclude commands are not supported by ASDM.
You can configure the FWSM to perform network access authorization with TACACS+. RADIUS authorization with the aaa authorization match command only supports authorization of VPN management connections to the FWSM.
After a user authenticates, the FWSM checks the authorization rules for matching traffic. If the traffic matches the authorization statement, the FWSM sends the username to the TACACS+ server. The TACACS+ server responds to the FWSM with information that the FWSM treats as a dynamic access list for that traffic, based on the user profile. Note that for interface access lists, the access-list per-user-override keyword applies for authorized traffic.
Authentication and authorization statements are independent; however, any unauthenticated traffic matched by an authorization statement will be denied. For authorization to succeed, a user must first authenticate with the FWSM.
Note
See the documentation for your TACACS+ server for information about configuring network access authorizations for a user.
If the first attempt at authorization fails and a second attempt causes a timeout, use the service resetinbound command to reset the client that failed the authorization so that it will not retransmit any connections. An example authorization timeout message in Telnet follows.
Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
Note
Examples
The following example uses the tplus1 server group with the aaa commands:
hostname(config)# access-list myacl extended permit ip any anyhostname(config)# aaa-server tplus1 protocol tacacs+hostname(config)# aaa-server tplus1 (inside) host 10.1.1.10 thekey timeout 20hostname(config)# aaa authentication match myacl inside tplus1hostname(config)# aaa accounting match myacl inside tplus1hostname(config)# aaa authorization match myacl inside tplus1In this example, the first command statement defines the tplus1 server group as a TACACS+ group. The second command specifies that the authentication server with the IP address 10.1.1.10 resides on the inside interface and is in the tplus1 server group. The next three command statements specify that any connections traversing the inside interface to any foreign host are authenticated using the tplus1 server group, that all these connections are logged in the accounting database, and that they are authorized by the AAA servers in the tplus1 server group.

If you omit this command, there is no limit on the number of times a user can enter an incorrect password when the local database is used for authentication.
After a user makes the configured number of attempts with the wrong password, the user is locked out and cannot log in successfully until an administrator unlocks the username. Locking or unlocking a username results in a syslog message.
The administrator cannot be locked out of the device.
The number of failed attempts resets to zero and the lockout status resets to No when the user successfully authenticates or when the FWSM reboots.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
The FWSM can exempt from authentication and authorization any through traffic from specific MAC addresses. For example, if the FWSM authenticates TCP traffic originating on a particular network but you want to allow unauthenticated TCP connections from a specific server, you would use a MAC exempt rule to exempt from authentication and authorization any traffic from the server specified by the rule.
This feature is particularly useful to exempt devices such as IP phones that cannot respond to authentication prompts.
This command exempts the list of MAC addresses for through-the-box connections only. For commands like Telnet to the FWSM, the authentication or authorization is not exempted even if the MAC address of the device is in the MAC list used by the aaa mac-exempt command.
Configure the MAC addresses you want to exempt using the mac-list command before using the aaa mac-exempt command. permit entries in the MAC list exempt the MAC addresses from authentication and authorization, while deny entries require authentication and authorization for the MAC address, if enabled. Because you can only add one instance of the aaa mac-exempt command, be sure that your MAC list includes all the MAC addresses you want to exempt.
Examples
The following example bypasses authentication for a single MAC address:
hostname(config)# mac-list abc permit 00a0.c95d.0282 ffff.ffff.ffffhostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match abcThe following entry bypasses authentication for all Cisco IP Phones, which have the hardware ID 0003.E3:
hostname(config)# mac-list acd permit 0003.E300.0000 FFFF.FF00.0000hostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match acdThe following example bypasses authentication for a a group of MAC addresses except for 00a0.c95d.02b2:
hostname(config)# mac-list 1 deny 00a0.c95d.0282 ffff.ffff.ffffhostname(config)# mac-list 1 permit 00a0.c95d.0000 ffff.ffff.0000hostname(config)# aaa mac-exempt match 1Related Commands

This command was modified to support a second LOCAL method for AAA configurations.
Usage Guidelines
You can have up to 15 single-mode groups or 4 multi-mode groups. Each group can have up to 16 servers in single mode or 4 servers in multi-mode. When a user logs in, the servers are accessed one at a time starting with the first server you specify in the configuration, until a server responds.
If accounting is in effect, the accounting information goes only to the active server, unless you specify simultaneous accounting in the aaa-server protocol command.
Because we modified the aaa-server command to support the specification of server ports on a per-host basis, the following command forms that were available in earlier versions of FWSM have been phased out (deprecated), with their semantics changing as indicated. This applies only to server groups that contain RADIUS servers. These commands will be accepted but will no longer be written to the configuration.

no access-group access-list {in | out} interface interface_name [per-user-override]
Syntax Description
Defaults
By default without an access-group command, no traffic can enter an interface. The exception to this rule is if a packet is part of an existing TCP or UDP connection; then returning traffic is allowed back through the FWSM. An access-group command is not required in this case on the destination interface. For connectionless protocols, you need to apply the access list to the source and destination interfaces if you want traffic to pass in both directions.

Command History
1.1(1)
This command was introduced.
2.3(1)
The per-user-override keyword was added.
Usage Guidelines
The access-group command binds an access list to an interface. If you enter the permit option in an access-list command statement, the FWSM continues to process the packet. If you enter the deny option in an access-list command statement, the FWSM discards the packet and generates syslog message 106019.
You can apply one access list to each direction of the interface (in or out).
Traffic flowing across an interface in the FWSM can be controlled in two ways. Traffic that enters the FWSM can be controlled by attaching an inbound access list to the source interface (the in keyword). Traffic that exits the FWSM can be controlled by attaching an outbound access list to the destination interface (the out keyword). To allow any traffic to enter the FWSM, you must attach an inbound access list to an interface; otherwise, the FWSM automatically drops all traffic that enters that interface. By default, traffic can exit the FWSM on any interface unless you restrict it using an outbound access list, which adds restrictions to those already configured in the inbound access list.
The per-user-override keyword allows dynamic access lists that are downloaded for user authorization to override the access list assigned to the interface. For example, if the interface access list denies all traffic from 10.0.0.0, but the dynamic access list permits all traffic from 10.0.0.0, then the dynamic access list overrides the interface access list for that user.
Additionally, the following rules are observed:

Note
Examples
The following example shows how to use the access-group command. The static command provides a global address of 209.165.201.3 for the web server at 10.1.1.3. The access-list command lets any host access the global address using port 80. The access-group command specifies that the access-list command applies to traffic entering the outside interface.
hostname (config)# static (inside,outside) 209.165.201.3 10.1.1.3hostname (config)# access-list acl_out permit tcp any host 209.165.201.3 eq 80hostname (config)# access-group acl_out in interface outsideRelated Commands

access-list id ethertype {deny | permit} {ipx | bpdu | mpls-unicast | mpls-multicast | any | hex_number}
no access-list id ethertype {deny | permit} {ipx | bpdu | mpls-unicast | mpls-multicast | any | hex_number}

Usage Guidelines
The FWSM can control any EtherType identified by a 16-bit hexadecimal number. EtherType access lists support Ethernet V2 frames. 802.3-formatted frames are not handled by the access list because they use a length field as opposed to a type field. Bridge protocol data units, which are handled by the access list, are the only exception; they are SNAP-encapsulated, and the FWSM is designed to specifically handle BPDUs.
Because EtherTypes are connectionless, you need to apply the access list to both interfaces if you want traffic to pass in both directions.
If you allow MPLS, ensure that LDP and TDP TCP connections are established through the FWSM by configuring both MPLS routers connected to the FWSM to use the IP address on the FWSM interface as the router-id for LDP or TDP sessions. (LDP and TDP allow MPLS routers to negotiate the labels (addresses) used to forward packets.)
You can apply only one access list of each type (extended and EtherType) to each direction of an interface. You can also apply the same access lists on multiple interfaces.
Note

access-list extended
To add an Access Control Entry, use the access-list extended command in global configuration mode. An access list is made up of one or more ACEs with the same access list ID. Access lists are used to control network access or to specify traffic for many feature to act upon. To remove the ACE, use the no form of this command. To remove the entire access list, use the clear configure access-list command.

Usage Guidelines
Each ACE that you enter for a given access list name is appended to the end of the access list unless you specify the line number in the ACE.
The order of ACEs is important. When the FWSM decides whether to forward or drop a packet, the FWSM tests the packet against each ACE in the order in which the entries are listed. After a match is found, no more ACEs are checked. For example, if you create an ACE at the beginning of an access list that explicitly permits all traffic, no further statements are ever checked.
Access lists have an implicit deny at the end of the list, so unless you explicitly permit it, traffic cannot pass. For example, if you want to allow all users to access a network through the FWSM except for particular addresses, then you need to deny the particular addresses and then permit all others.
When you use NAT, the IP addresses you specify for an access list depend on the interface to which the access list is attached; you need to use addresses that are valid on the network connected to the interface. This guideline applies for both inbound and outbound access groups: the direction does not determine the address used, only the interface does.
For TCP and UDP connections, you do not need an access list to allow returning traffic, because the FWSM allows all returning traffic for established, bidirectional connections. For connectionless protocols such as ICMP, however, the FWSM establishes unidirectional sessions, so you either need access lists to allow ICMP in both directions (by applying access lists to the source and destination interfaces), or you need to enable the ICMP inspection engine. The ICMP inspection engine treats ICMP sessions as bidirectional connections.
Because ICMP is a connectionless protocol, you either need access lists to allow ICMP in both directions (by applying access lists to the source and destination interfaces), or you need to enable the ICMP inspection engine. The ICMP inspection engine treats ICMP sessions as stateful connections. To control ping, specify echo-reply (0) (FWSM to host) or echo (8) (host to FWSM). See Table 1 for a list of ICMP types.
You can apply only one access list of each type (extended and EtherType) to each direction of an interface. You can apply the same access lists on multiple interfaces. See the access-group command for more information about applying an access list to an interface.
While the software allows you to enter the inactive option after the time-range option is specified for an ACE, the inactive option supersedes the time-range option, making the time-range option unavailable. Enter one or the other, as the syntax shows.
Note
Table 1 lists the possible ICMP types values.
Examples
The following access list allows all hosts (on the interface to which you apply the access list) to go through the FWSM:
hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any anyThe following sample access list prevents hosts on 192.168.1.0/24 from accessing the 209.165.201.0/27 network. All other addresses are permitted.
hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any anyIf you want to restrict access to only some hosts, then enter a limited permit ACE. By default, all other traffic is denied unless explicitly permitted.
hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 209.165.201.0 255.255.255.224The following access list restricts all hosts (on the interface to which you apply the access list) from accessing a website at address 209.165.201.29. All other traffic is allowed.
hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended deny tcp any host 209.165.201.29 eq wwwhostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any anyThe following access list that uses object groups restricts several hosts on the inside network from accessing several web servers. All other traffic is allowed.

hostname(config)# access-list 104 permit ip host object-group A object-group B inactiveTo implement a time-based access list, use the time-range command to define specific times of the day and week. Then use the access-list extended command to bind the time range to an access list. The following example binds an access list named "Sales" to a time range named "New_York_Minute":
hostname(config)# access-list Sales line 1 extended deny tcp host 209.165.200.225 host 209.165.201.1 time-range New_York_Minutehostname(config)#See the time-range command for more information about how to define a time range.

access-list mode
To switch the commitment mode for access lists between manual- and auto-commit, use the access-list mode command in global configuration mode.
access-list mode {auto-commit | manual-commit}
Syntax Description
auto-commit
Automatically commits an access list when you add an ACE.
manual-commit
Disables auto-commit. You must manually commit an access list using the access-list commit command.
Defaults
The default is auto-commit.

Usage Guidelines
When you add an ACE to an access list, the FWSM activates the access list by committing it to the network processors. In auto-commit mode, the FWSM waits a short period of time after you last entered an access-list command and then commits the access list. If you enter an ACE after the commitment starts, the FWSM aborts the commitment, and recommits the access list after a new short waiting period. The FWSM displays a message similar to the following after it commits the access list:
Access Rules Download Complete: Memory Utilization: < 1%Large access lists of approximately 60K ACEs can take 3 to 4 minutes to commit, depending on the size.
You can manually commit access lists if your management application or script needs to monitor the access list commitment for error messages. Some management applications cannot monitor errors that are the result of configuration commands, so if you add ACEs, and there is a commitment error, the management application might not receive the error. However, if the management application sets the mode to manual-commit, then it can monitor errors resulting from the access-list commit command, which is a run-time command. The management application typically sets this mode to manual-commit automatically.
Note
If you enable manual commit, then you must remember to manually commit any changes you make to access lists, whether the change is an addition or a subtraction. Also, you must manually commit an access list before you assign it to an interface (access-group command); the FWSM cannot assign an access list to an interface if the access list does not exist yet.
If you delete an ACE, but have not yet committed your change, the show running-config command shows the ACE with the text "uncommitted deletion". Adding an ACE shows the ACE as an "uncommitted addition".
Note

Usage Guidelines
The remark text can be up to 100 characters in length, including spaces and punctuation. The remark text must contain at least 1 non-space character; you cannot enter an empty remark.
You cannot use the access-group command on an ACL that includes a remark only.
When you attempt to delete a specific remark and specify the line number using the no access-list id line line number remark command, if the line number specified is not being used by an ACE in that ACL, then the entire access-list is searched until the first instance of the specified remark is identified. After the remark is identified, the first instance of the remark is deleted from the top, even if multiple occurrences of the same remark exist in the same access list.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify the text of the remark to add before or after an access-list command:

Usage Guidelines
When used with the access-group command, the deny optional keyword does not allow a packet to traverse the FWSM. By default, the FWSM denies all packets on the originating interface unless you specifically permit access.
When you specify the protocol to match any Internet protocol, including TCP and UDP, use the ip keyword.
Refer to the object-group command for information on how to configure object groups.
You can use the object-group command to group access lists.
Use the following guidelines for specifying a source, local, or destination address:
•
•
Use host address as an abbreviation for a mask of 255.255.255.255.
