Selection Criteria
Authentication List - Select the authentication login list you want to configure. Select 'create' to define a new login list. When you create a new login list, 'local' is set as the initial authentication method.
Configurable Data
Authentication List Name - If you are creating a new login list, enter the name you want to assign. It can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters and is not case sensitive.
Method 1 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method that should appear first in the selected authentication login list. If you select a method that does not time out as the first method, such as 'local' no other method will be tried, even if you have specified more than one method. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first create a new login list. The options are:
Local- the user's locally stored ID and password will be used for authentication
Radius- the user's ID and password will be authenticated using the RADIUS server instead of locally
Reject- the user is never authenticated
Tacacs- the user's ID and password will be authenticated using the TACACS server instead of locally
Undefined- the authentication method is unspecified (this may not be assigned as the first method)
Method 2 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method, if any, that should appear second in the selected authentication login list. This is the method that will be used if the first method times out. If you select a method that does not time out as the second method, the third method will not be tried. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first create a new login list.
Method 3 - Use the dropdown menu to select the method, if any, that should appear third in the selected authentication login list. Note that this parameter will not appear when you first create a new login list.
