Default Setting
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
Command Usage
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.
