Chapter 9 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication

Configuring the Switch for Local Authentication and Authorization

Note A Kerberos server can be a Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E switch that is configured as a network security server and that can authenticate users by using the Kerberos protocol.

To set up a Kerberos-authenticated server-client system, follow these steps:

•Configure the KDC by using Kerberos commands.

•Configure the switch to use the Kerberos protocol.

For instructions, see the “Kerberos Configuration Task List” section in the “Security Server Protocols” chapter of the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide, Release 12.2, at this URL:

Configuring the Switch for Local Authentication and Authorization

You can configure AAA to operate without a server by setting the switch to implement AAA in local mode. The switch then handles authentication and authorization. No accounting is available in this configuration.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch for local AAA:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	aaa new-model	Enable AAA.
Step 3
	aaa authentication login default local	Set the login authentication to use the local username database. The
		default keyword applies the local user database authentication to all
		ports.
Step 4
	aaa authorization exec local	Configure user AAA authorization, check the local database, and allow
		the user to run an EXEC shell.
Step 5
	aaa authorization network local	Configure user AAA authorization for all network-related service
		requests.
