Default Configuration

If the default list is not set, only the enable password is checked. This has the same effect as the command aaa authentication enable default enable.

On the console, the enable password is used if it exists. If no password is set, the process still succeeds. This has the same effect as using the command aaa authentication enable default enable none.

Command Mode

Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

The default and optional list names created with the aaa authentication enable command are used with the enable authentication command.

Create a list by entering the aaa authentication enable list-name method command 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.

All aaa authentication enable default requests sent by the device to a RADIUS or TACACS server include the username "$enab15$".

Example

The following example sets authentication when accessing higher privilege levels.

Console (config)# aaa authentication enable default enable

login authentication

The login authentication Line Configuration mode command specifies the login authentication method list for a remote telnet, SSH or console. To return to the default specified by the authentication login command, use the no form of this command.
