Configuring authentication-method lists
To implement one or more authentication methods for securing access to the device, you configure
authentication-method lists that set the order in which the authentication methods are consulted.
In an authentication-method list, you specify the access method (Telnet, Web, SNMP, and so on)
and the order in which the device tries one or more of the following authentication methods:
•
•
•
•
•
•
NOTE
The TACACS/TACACS+, RADIUS, and Telnet login password authentication methods are not
supported for SNMP access.
NOTE
To authenticate Telnet access to the CLI, you also must enable the authentication by entering the
enable telnet authentication command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI. You cannot enable
Telnet authentication using the Web Management Interface.
NOTE
You do not need an authentication-method list to secure access based on ACLs or a list of IP
addresses. Refer to
access to the device to specific IP addresses"
In an authentication-method list for a particular access method, you can specify up to seven
authentication methods. If the first authentication method is successful, the software grants
access and stops the authentication process. If the access is rejected by the first authentication
method, the software denies access and stops checking.
However, if an error occurs with an authentication method, the software tries the next method on
the list, and so on. For example, if the first authentication method is the RADIUS server, but the link
to the server is down, the software will try the next authentication method in the list.
