Configuring AAA Schemes

Context

To use local authentication and authorization, set the authentication mode in an authentication scheme to local authentication and the authorization mode in an authorization scheme to local authorization.

By default, the device performs local authentication and authorization for access users.

If non-authentication is configured using the authentication-mode command, users can pass the authentication using any user name or password. To protect the device and improve network security, you are advised to enable authentication to allow only authenticated users to access the device or network.
