aaa authentication enable
The aaa authentication enable Global Configuration mode command defines authentication method lists for
accessing higher privilege levels. To restore defaults, use the no form of this command.
Syntax
aaa authentication enable {default | list-name} method1 [method2...]
no aaa authentication enable {default | list-name}
Parameters
•
default — Uses the listed authentication methods that follow this argument as the default list of methods,
when using higher privilege levels.
•
list-name — Character string used to name the list of authentication methods activated, when using access
higher privilege levels. (Range: 1-12 characters)
•
method1 [method2...] — Specify at least one method from the following list:
K ey wo r d
enable
line
none
radius
tacacs
Default Configuration
If the default list is not set, only the enable password is checked. This has the same effect as the command aaa
authentication enable default enable.
On the console, the enable password is used if it exists. If no password is set, the process still succeeds. This has
the same effect as using the command aaa authentication enable default enable none.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The default and optional list names created with the aaa authentication enable command are used with the
enable authentication command.
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 $enabx$., where x is the requested privilege level.
