Configure Local AAA Security

Configure AAA to perform login authentication by using the local username database. The login

keyword authenticates EXEC-shell users. Additionally, configure PPP authentication to use the local

database if the session was not already authenticated by login.

AAA is the Cisco IOS software security model used on all Cisco devices. AAA provides the primary

framework through which you set up access control on the universal gateway.

In this basic discussion, the same authentication method is used on all interfaces. AAA is set up to use

the local database configured on the universal gateway. This local database is created with the username

configuration commands.

Note We recommend using a AAA RADIUS server. For more information on the AAA RADIUS server, see

Chapter 4 “Cisco AS5850 Administration,” under “RADIUS Management” of the Cisco AS5850
