Command

Purpose

 

 

 

Step 3 Router (config)# aaa authentication

Create a login authentication method list.

 

login {default list-name}method1

• To create a default list that is used when a named list is not specified

 

[method2...]

 

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 16-9.

 

 

– 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 Router (config)# line [console tty

Enter line configuration mode, and configure the lines to which you want

 

vty] line-number [ending-line-number]

to apply the authentication list.

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
