3. Query the local database (see
“Configuring the local database accounts”
on page 108 for information on
how to configure the local database)
If, e.g. radius_deepblue is not available, radius_extern will be queried after a timeout. But if radius_deepblue
gives an answer that rejects the login request, the remaining methods are not used and the login is denied. The
same applies to the console service, which uses the profile console-login. This profile uses the following sequence
of methods:
1. Ask radius server radius_deepblue.
2. Ask predefined method none. This method always grants access as system operator.
If radius_deepblue is not available, access will be granted by the method none. If radius_deepblue rejects the
login request, console access is denied. If radius_deepblue confirms the request, console access is granted.
Do the following to configure the AAA component.

Example:
Create the AAA profiles for login over Telnet and login over console, as they are shown in
figure 16
,
and use them on the Telnet login and console login services.
