Configuring console login control settings

This section describes how to configure console login control settings. The procedures for configuring
AUX login control settings are similar.
The following authentication modes are available for controlling console logins:
None—Requires no authentication. This mode is insecure.
•
Password—Requires password authentication.
•
• Scheme—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote console login authentication. You must
provide a username and password for accessing the CLI. If the username or password configured
on a remote server was lost, contact the server administrator for help.
By default, console login does not require authentication. Any user can log in through the console port
without authentication and have user privilege level 3. To improve device security, configure the
password or scheme authentication mode immediately after you log in to the device for the first time.
