Default Configuration
I
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.
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 server include the username $enabx$., where x is
the requested privilege level.
