Purpose
• To create a default list that is used when a named list is not specified in
the login authentication command, use the default keyword followed
by the methods that are to be used in default situations. The default
method list is automatically applied to all ports.
• For list-name, specify a character string to name the list you are creating.
• For method1..., specify the actual method the authentication algorithm
tries. The additional methods of authentication are used only if the
previous method returns an error, not if it fails.
Select one of these methods:
◦enable—Use the enable password for authentication. Before you
can use this authentication method, you must define an enable
password by using the enable password global configuration
command.
◦group radius—Use RADIUS authentication. Before you can use
this authentication method, you must configure the RADIUS server.
◦line—Use the line password for authentication. Before you can
use this authentication method, you must define a line password.
Use the password password line configuration command.
◦local—Use the local username database for authentication. You
must enter username information in the database. Use the
username name password global configuration command.
◦local-case—Use a case-sensitive local username database for
authentication. You must enter username information in the
database by using the username password global configuration
command.
◦none—Do not use any authentication for login.
Enters line configuration mode, and configure the lines to which you want to
apply the authentication list.
Applies the authentication list to a line or set of lines.
• If you specify default, use the default list created with the aaa
authentication login command.
• For list-name, specify the list created with the aaa authentication login
command.
