Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enables AAA.
Creates a login authentication method list.

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.

list-name—Specifies a character string to name the list you are creating.

method1...—Specifies 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—Uses 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—Uses RADIUS authentication. Before you can use this
authentication method, you must configure the RADIUS server. For
more information, see
— line—Uses 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—Uses the local username database for authentication. You must
enter username information in the database. Use the username name
password global configuration command.
— local-case—Uses 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—Does not use any authentication for login.
Enters line configuration mode, and configures 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.

list-name—Specifies the list created with the aaa authentication login
command.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
