authentication-mode

Syntax
authentication-mode { none | password | scheme }
View
User interface view
Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
none: Does not authenticate users.
password: Authenticates users using the local password.
scheme: Authenticates users locally or remotely using usernames and passwords.
Description
Use the authentication-mode command to specify the authentication mode.
If you specify the password keyword to authenticate users using the local password, remember to
set the local password using the set authentication password { cipher | simple } password
command.
If you specify the scheme keyword to authenticate users locally or remotely using usernames and
passwords, the actual authentication mode depends on other related configuration. Refer to the
AAA-RADIUS-HWTACACS module of this manual for more.
After you specify to perform local password authentication, when a user logs in through the Console
port, a user can log into the switch even if the password is not configured on the switch. But for a VTY
user interface, a password is needed for a user to log into the switch through it under the same
condition.
