Dell Configuration Guide for the S4048–ON System 9.14.2.4

Configuring AAA Authentication Login Methods

To configure an authentication method and method list, use the following commands.

1. Define an authentication method-list (method-list-name) or specify the default.
   CONFIGURATION mode
   aaa authentication login {method-list-name | default} method1 [... method4]
   The default method-list is applied to all terminal lines.
   Possible methods are:

   • enable: use the password you defined using the enable secret, enable password, or enable sha256-password command in CONFIGURATION mode. In general, the enable secret command overrules the enable password command. If you configure the enable sha256-password command, it overrules both the enable secret and enable password commands.
   • line: use the password you defined using the password command in LINE mode.
   • local: use the username/password database defined in the local configuration.
   • none: no authentication.
   • radius: use the RADIUS servers configured with the radius-server host command.
   • tacacs+: use the TACACS+ servers configured with the tacacs-server host command.
2. Enter LINE mode.
   CONFIGURATION mode
   line {aux 0 | console 0 | vty number [... end-number]}
3. Assign a method-list-name or the default list to the terminal line.
   LINE mode
   login authentication {method-list-name | default}
