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 command.
AAA (called triple A) is the Cisco IOS security model used on all Cisco devices. AAA provides the primary framework through
which you set up access control on the Cisco AS5350XM or Cisco AS5400XM universal gateway.
The same authentication method is used on all interfaces. AAA is set up to use the local database configured on the gateway.
This local database is created with the username configuration commands.
To configure AAA, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when your prompt changes to
Gateway(config)#
Gateway# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Gateway(config)#
Step 2 Create a local login username database in global configuration mode. In this example, the administrator's username is
admin. The remote client's login username is Harry.
Gateway(config)# username admin password adminpasshere
Gateway(config)# username Harry password Harrypasshere
Step 3 Configure local AAA security in global configuration mode. You must enter the aaa new-model command before the
other two authentication commands.
Gateway(config)# aaa new-model
Gateway(config)# aaa authentication login default local
Gateway(config)# aaa authentication ppp default if-needed local
Step 4 Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Gateway(config)# Ctrl-Z
Gateway#
Step 5 Log in with your username and password.
