• virtual authentication radius-local - Performs a RADIUS server
authentication to verify username and password. If the RADIUS server
authentication is unsuccessful, the CSS checks the local username database
for authentication.
• no virtual authentication - Does not require users to enter a login name and
password to log into the CSS (disables virtual authentication).
The console command provides the following options:
• console authentication - Requires users to enter a login name and password
to log into the CSS console port (default). The local database is checked in
this option.
• console authentication local-radius - Checks the local username database
for authentication. If local authentication is unsuccessful, the CSS performs
a RADIUS server authentication to verify username and password.
• console authentication radius - Performs a RADIUS server authentication
to verify username and password.
• console authentication radius-local - Performs a RADIUS server
authentication to verify username and password. If the RADIUS server
authentication is unsuccessful, the CSS checks the local username database
for authentication.
• no console authentication - Does not require users to enter a login name and
password to log into the CSS console port (disables console authentication).
For example, if an unauthorized user gained access to the CSS:
1. Prevent users from establishing new connections to the CSS by using the
virtual authentication disallowed command.
(config)# virtual authentication disallowed
2. Terminate all connections using the admin-shutdown command.
(config)# admin-shutdown
To display virtual and console authentication settings, use the show
user-database command (refer to “Showing User Information” in Chapter 1,
Logging in and Getting Started).
