Adding User Entries to Local User Databases

40
The local authentication server uses the information in a local user database to
authenticate a subscriber. A local user database can contain information for multiple
users.
The E Series router provides two commands for adding entries to local user databases:
the username command and the aaa local username command. You can specify the
following parameters:
Username—Name associated with the subscriber.
Passwords and secrets—Single words that can be encrypted or unencrypted. Passwords
use two-way encryption, and secrets use one-way encryption. Both passwords and
secrets can be used with PAP authentication; however, only passwords can be used
with CHAP authentication.
IP address—The IP address to assign to the subscriber (aaa local username command
only).
IP address pool—The IP address pool used to assign the subscriber's IP address (aaa
local username command only).
Operational virtual router—The virtual router to which the subscriber is assigned. This
parameter is applicable only if the subscriber is authenticated by the default virtual
router (aaa local username command only).

Using the username Command

The username command is similar to the command used by some third-party vendors.
The command can be used to add entries in the default local user database; it is not
supported for named local user databases. The IP address, IP address pool, and
operational virtual router parameters are not supported in the username command.
However, after the user is added to the default local user database, you can use the aaa
local username command with a database name default to enter Local User
Configuration mode and add the additional parameters.
NOTE: If the default local user database does not exist, the username
command creates this database and adds the user entry to the database.
To add a subscriber and password or secret to the default local user database, complete
the following step:
host1(config)#username rockyB password rockyPassword

Using the aaa local username Command

To enter Local User Configuration mode and add user entries to a local user database,
use the following commands:
