password protect console port on pix?

[rlyster]

can you require a password on the console port? IF so how?

[pcomeaux · Accepted solution]

Yes, you can.

If you have a aaa server:

aaa-server-server bob protocol radius

aaa-server bob inside host 1.1.1.1 cisco

aaa authentication serial console bob

If you want to do local authentication:

aaa authentication serial console LOCAL

user bob password cisco

There's a section in this link you can use as reference:
