Configuring Local AAA Security
Configure authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) to perform login authentication by using
the local username database. The
login
keyword authenticates EXEC shell users. Additionally, configure
PPP authentication to use the local database if the session was not already authenticated by the
login
keyword.

console port. You are in configuration mode when
the prompt changes to

Step 9

out if you do not type any information on the
console screen for an extended period.
