Configuring console login control settings
The following authentication modes are available for controlling console logins:
•
None
—Requires no authentication. This mode is insecure.
•
Password
—Requires password authentication.
•
Scheme
—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote console login authentication. You must
provide a username and password to access the CLI. For more information about AAA, see
Security
Configuration Guide.
By default, console login does not require authentication. Any user can log in through the console port
without authentication and have user privilege level 3. To improve device security, configure the
password or scheme authentication mode immediately after you log in to the device for the first time.
