Configuring console login control settings

The following authentication modes are available for controlling console logins:
• None—Requires no authentication. This mode is insecure.
Password—Requires password authentication.
•
Scheme—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote console login authentication. You
•
must provide a username and password for accessing the CLI.
By default, console login does not require authentication. Any user can log in through the console
port without authentication and have user privilege level 3. To improve device security, configure the
password or scheme authentication mode immediately after you log in to the device for the first time.
