Dell Command Line Reference Guide for the S4048–ON System 9.14.2.8

To return to the default setting, use the no aaa authentication login {method-list-name | default} command.

method-list-name

Enter a text string (up to 16 characters long) as the name of a user-configured method list that can be applied to different lines.

default

Enter the keyword default to specify that the method list specified is the default method for all terminal lines.

method

Enter one of the following methods:

• enable: use the password the enable password command defines in CONFIGURATION mode. Not available if role-only is in use.
• line: use the password the password command defines in LINE mode. Not available if role-only is in use.

• local: use the password for the userid contained in the local password database.

• none: no authentication. Not available if role-only is in use.
• radius: use the RADIUS servers configured with the radius-server host command.
• tacacs+: use the TACACS+ servers configured with the tacacs-server host command.

... method4

(OPTIONAL) Enter up to four additional methods. In the event of a “no response” from the first method, the system applies the next configured method (up to four configured methods).

This guide is platform-specific. For command information about other platforms, see the relevant Dell EMC Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.

By default, the locally configured username password is used. If you configure aaa authentication login default, Dell EMC Networking OS uses the methods this command defines for login instead.

Methods configured with the aaa authentication login command are evaluated in the order they are configured. If users encounter an error with the first method listed, Dell EMC Networking OS applies the next method configured. If users fail the first method listed, no other methods are applied. The only exception is the local method. If the user’s name is not listed in the local database, the next method is applied. If the correct user name/password combination is not entered, the user is not allowed access to the switch.

After configuring the aaa authentication login command, configure the login authentication command to enable the authentication scheme on terminal lines.

Connections to the SSH server work with the following login mechanisms: local, radius, and tacacs.

• login authentication — enables AAA login authentication on the terminal lines.
• password — creates a password.
• radius-server host — specifies a RADIUS server host.
• tacacs-server host — specifies a TACACS+ server host.
