aaa authentication login console
To configure AAA authentication methods for console logins, use the aaa authentication login console
command. To revert to the default, use the no form of this command.
aaa authentication login console {fallback error local| group group-list [none]| local| none}
no aaa authentication login console {fallback error local| group group-list [none]| local| none}
Syntax Description
Enables fallback to local authentication for the
console login if remote authentication is configured
and all AAA servers are unreachable. Fallback to
local authentication is enabled by default.
Disabling fallback to local authentication
can lock your Cisco NX-OS device, forcing
you to perform a password recovery in order
to gain access. To prevent being locked out
of the device, we recommend disabling
fallback to local authentication for only the
default login or the console login, not both.
