Global pool of RADIUS servers
•
Named subset of RADIUS or TACACS+ servers
•
Local database on the Nexus 5000 Series switch
•
Username only (none)
•
The default method is local.
Note The group radius and group server-name forms of the aaa authentication command are used for a set
of previously defined RADIUS servers. Use the radius server-host command to configure the host
servers. Use the aaa group server radius command to create a named group of servers.
Before you configure console login authentication methods, configure RADIUS or TACACS+ server
groups as needed. To configure console login authentication methods, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# aaa authentication login
console {group group-list [none]| local |
none}
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
Step 4
switch# show aaa authentication
Step 5
switch# copy running-config startup-config
The following example shows how to configure authentication methods for the console login:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# aaa authentication login console group radius
switch(config)# exit
switch# show aaa authentication
switch# copy running-config startup-config

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures login authentication methods for the
console.
The group-list argument consists of a
space-delimited list of group names. The group
names are the following:
• radius—Uses the global pool of RADIUS
servers for authentication.
named-group—Uses a named subset of
•
TACACS+ or RADIUS servers for
authentication.
The local method uses the local database for
authentication. The none method uses the username
only.
The default console login method is local, which is
used when no methods are configured or when all of
the configured methods fail to respond.
Exits configuration mode.
(Optional) Displays the configuration of the console
login authentication methods.
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
