Multiple VTY lines and different authentication types

[Silferman1]

Hi all,

Lets assume i configure two lots of VTY lines, 0 - 4 and 5 - 15. If i specify my login authentication method on 0 - 4 to use a tacacs server, but on my 5 - 15 lines i don't specify a method at all and only configure transport type (telnet & SSH), will the additional lines simply not work by virtue of me not specifying a login method?

Thanks!

Hi there,

If you don't explicitly define it under the line vty stanza it will use the default (aaa authentication login default xxx) AAA method.

cheers,

Seb.
