aaa authentication login console

To configure AAA authentication methods for console logins, use the aaa authentication login console command. To revert to the default, use the no form of this command.

aaa authentication login console {group group-list} [none] | local | none}

no aaa authentication login console {group group-list [none] | local | none}

Syntax Description

Defaults

local

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

network-admin

Command History

Usage Guidelines

The group radius, group tacacs+, and group group-list methods refer to a set of previously defined RADIUS or TACACS+ servers. Use the radius-server host or tacacs-server host command to configure the host servers. Use the aaa group server command to create a named group of servers.

Use the show aaa group command to display the RADIUS server groups on the device.

If you specify more that one server group, the software checks each group in the order that you specify in the list.

If you specify the group method or local method and they fail, then the authentication can fail. If you specify the none method alone or after the group method, then the authentication always succeeds.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the AAA authentication console login methods:

n1000v config t

n1000v(config)# aaa authentication login console group radius

This example shows how to revert to the default AAA authentication console login method:

n1000v# config t

n1000v(config)# no aaa authentication login console group radius

Related Commands
