Configuring password authentication for console login
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter AUX line view or class view. |
| A setting in user line view applies only to the user line. A setting in user line class view applies to all user lines of the class. A non-default setting in either view takes precedence over a default setting in the other view. A non-default setting in user line view takes precedence over a non-default setting in user line class view. A setting in user line class view does not take effect for current online users. It takes effect only for new login users. |
3. Enable password authentication. | authentication-mode password | In non-FIPS mode, authentication is disabled for the AUX line by default. In FIPS mode, scheme authentication is enabled by default. |
4. Set a password. | set authentication password { hash | simple } password | By default, no password is set. |
5. Assign a user role. | user-role role-name | By default, an AUX line user is assigned the network-admin user role. |
After you finish this configuration task, a user must provide the configured password when logging in through the console port.
