Disabling AAA Authentication

You can turn off password verification using the none option. If you configure this option, users can log
in without giving a valid password. But the user should at least exist locally on the Cisco MDS 9000
Family switch.
Use this option cautiously. If configured, any user can access the switch at any time.
Caution
Use the none option in the aaa authentication login command to disable password verification.
A user created by entering the username command will exist locally on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family
switch.
