Chapter 9 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication

Controlling Switch Access with RADIUS

	Command	Purpose
Step 3
	aaa authentication login {default	Create a login authentication method list.
	list-name}method1 [method2...]	• To create a default list that is used when a named list is not specified
		in the login authentication command, use the default keyword
		followed by the methods that are to be used in default situations. The
		default method list is automatically applied to all ports.
		• For list-name, specify a character string to name the list you are
		creating.
		• For method1..., specify the actual method the authentication
		algorithm tries. The additional methods of authentication are used
		only if the previous method returns an error, not if it fails.
		Select one of these methods:
		– enable—Use the enable password for authentication. Before you
		can use this authentication method, you must define an enable
		password by using the enable password global configuration
		command.
		– group radius—Use RADIUS authentication. Before you can use
		this authentication method, you must configure the RADIUS
		server. For more information, see the “Identifying the RADIUS
		Server Host” section on page 9-20.
		– line—Use the line password for authentication. Before you can
		use this authentication method, you must define a line password.
		Use the password password line configuration command.
		– local—Use the local username database for authentication. You
		must enter username information in the database. Use the
		username name password global configuration command.
		– local-case—Use a case-sensitive local username database for
		authentication. You must enter username information in the
		database by using the username password global configuration
		command.
		– none—Do not use any authentication for login.
Step 4 line [console tty vty] line-number		Enter line configuration mode, and configure the lines to which you want
	[ending-line-number]	to apply the authentication list.
Step 5
	login authentication {default	Apply the authentication list to a line or set of lines.
	list-name}	• If you specify default, use the default list created with the aaa
		authentication login command.
		• For list-name, specify the list created with the aaa authentication
		login command.
Step 6
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
	show running-config	Verify your entries.
Step 8
	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
