Controlling Switch Access with RADIUS
Step 3 aaa authentication login {default |
list-name} method1 [method2...]Create a login authentication method list.
• 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 7-20.
–
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
[ending-line-number]Enter line configuration mode, and configure the lines to which you want
to apply the authentication list.
