AAA Commands
• Create a list by entering the aaa authentication login list-name method command for a
particular protocol, where list-name is 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.
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.
