Create a list by entering the aaa authentication login list-name method command for a particular protocol, where list-nameis any character string used to name this list. The method argument identifies the list of methods that the authentication algorithm tries, in the given sequence.

The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as the final method in the command line.

Example

The following example configures authentication login.

Console (config)# aaa authentication login default radius local enable none

aaa authentication enable

The aaa authentication enable Global Configuration mode command defines authentication method lists for accessing higher privilege levels. To return to the default configuration use the no form of this command.

Syntax

aaa authentication enable {default list-name}method1 [method2...]

no aaa authentication enable default

default—Uses the listed authentication methods that follow this argument as the default list of methods, when using higher privilege levels.

list-name—Character string used to name the list of authentication methods activated, when using access higher privilege levels.

method1 [method2...]—Specify at least one from the following table:
