local authentication

Hi,

I want a back up login defined in case the authentiation server can't

be reached. I thought this command was working but today when

I went to roll out the config, I tested the username/password combo

and I failed to login to the switch.

Is this the correct command to enable tacacs+ with a

fallback to locallly defined username password?

aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local

If this is correct, is there some internal mechinism that

says the login has to fail to the tacacs+ server before the

locally defined username/password will be used?

Thanks.

Hi,

For Catalyst 6000 and 4000, Please use the following statements to override Authentication failure:

set authorization exec enable if-authenticated none console

set authorization exec enable if-authenticated none telnet

This will be your enable secret password that you've configured on your switch.

Hope this will help you resolve your issue.
