View
User interface view
Parameters
none: Specifies not to authenticate users.
password: Authenticates users using the local password.
scheme: Authenticates users locally or remotely using usernames and passwords.
command-authorization: Performs command authorization on TACACS authentication server.
Description
Use the authentication-mode command to specify the authentication mode.
z If you specify the password keyword to authenticate users using the local password, remember to
set the local password using the set authentication password command. Otherwise, AUX users
can log in to the switch successfully without password, but VTY users will fail the login. VTY users
must enter the correct authentication password to log in to the switch.
z If you specify the scheme keyword to authenticate users locally or remotely using usernames and
passwords, the actual authentication mode, that is, local or remote, depends on other related AAA
scheme configuration of the domain.
z If this command is executed with the command-authorization keyword specified, authorization is
performed on the TACACS server whenever you attempt to execute a command, and the
command can be executed only when you pass the authorization. Normally, a TACACS server
contains a list of the commands available to different users.
By default, the authentication mode is none for AUX users and password for VTY users.
