User Guidelines
• The default and optional list names created with the
aaa authentication enable
command are
used with the
enable authentication
command.
• Create a list by entering the
aaa
authentication enable
list-name method
command where
list-name
is any character string used to name this list. The
method
argument identifies the
list of methods that the authentication algorithm tries, in the given sequence.
• The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an
error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an
error, specify
none
as the final method in the command line.
•All
aaa
authentication enable default
requests sent by the device to a RADIUS or TACACS
server include the username "$enab15$".
