AUTHENTICATION LOGIN
local is the default state for the default method list unless a named method list is
applied to that line by the login authentication command. You can reset it to the
default method list using the no aaa authentication login default command.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage notes When a user attempts to log in, the switch sends an authentication request to the
first authentication server in the method list. If the first server in the list is reachable
and it contains a username and password matching the authentication request,
the user is authenticated and the login succeeds. If the authentication server
denies the authentication request because of an incorrect username or password,
the user login fails. If the first server in the method list is unreachable, the switch
sends the request to the next server in the list, and so on.
For example, if the method list specifies group tacacs+ local, and a user attempts
to log in with a password that does not match a user entry in the first TACACS+
server, if this TACACS+ server denies the authentication request, then the switch
does not try any other TACACS+ servers nor the local user database; the user login
fails.
