Configuring AAA
By configuring AAA, you can provide network access service for legal users, protect the networking
devices, and avoid unauthorized access and repudiation. In addition, you can configure ISP domains to
perform AAA on accessing users.
In AAA, users are divided into LAN users (such as 802.1X users) and login users (such as SSH, Telnet,
FTP, and terminal access users). Except for command line users, you can configure separate
authentication/authorization/accounting policies for all the other types of users. Command line users
can be configured with authorization policy independently.
Configuration Prerequisites
For remote authentication, authorization, or accounting, you must create the RADIUS scheme first. For
RADIUS scheme configuration, refer to
Configuring RADIUS.
Creating an ISP Domain
An Internet service provider (ISP) domain represents a group of users belonging to it. For a username in
the userid@isp-name format, the access device considers the userid part the username for
authentication and the isp-name part the ISP domain name.
In a networking scenario with multiple ISPs, an access device may connect users of different ISPs. As
users of different ISPs may have different user attributes (such as username and password structure,
service type, and rights), you need to configure ISP domains to distinguish the users. In addition, you
need to configure different attribute sets including AAA methods for the ISP domains.
