Technology Review
AAA stands for authentication, authorization, and accounting. The AOS AAA subsystem currently supports
authentication. Authentication is the means by which a user is granted access to the device (router). For
instance, a username/password is authenticated before the user can use the CLI. VPN clients can also
verify username/password before getting access through the device.
There are several methods that can be used to authenticate a user:
NONE
LINE-PASSWORD
ENABLE-PASSWORD Use the enable password
LOCAL-USERS
GROUP <groupname> Use a group of remote RADIUS servers
