| 1131524 | 2010-08-25 03:06:00 | Hey! I'm playing around with a Cisco 2600 router and I don't quite understand the whole AAA thing. I've set up the router with SSH login. What does this command do: aaa authentication login LOCAL_LIST local Also, on the console/telnet lines: line con 0 .... login authentication LOCAL-LIST The router does have a local username/password set up but I do not see how that username/password relates to the LOCAL-LIST I've created. Everything is working though. Someone please explain :) |

| 1131525 | 2010-08-25 03:19:00 | As far as I'm aware the first command you have listed would enable AAA for local logins, based on a method called LOCAL_LIST. You may want to have a read through some of Cisco's IOS documentation, such as this (www.cisco.com). | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1131526 | 2010-08-25 06:19:00 | But whats the point of AAA? If i just created a user with 'username xxx password yyy' and set 'login local' on the vty/console line it would still work and that is without using the aaa command. |
