AAA Config Question

[Patrick McHenry]

Hi,

I have a remote switch that I'm trying to configure scp with archive but, it keeps failing. Been informed that I must also enable aaa new model to the device.

I'm a little worried about configing aaa a remote device as I could lock myself out. The device has a username and pasword configured on the switch and the line vty is configured:

line vty 0 4

login local

line vty 5 15

login local

!

enable secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

username USER password 7 PASSWORD

If I configure:

aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authorization exec default local

I should be be able to log into the switch still, correct?

Thank you, Pat.

Hi,

yes you're correct but by default the default authentication method is enabled on the lines once aaa is enabled so it should

even work with just aaa new-model.

Regards.

Alain

Hi Patrick,

Please check this out:

Secure Copy

And yes, you should be able to log into the SW.

* If an admin, make sure you define privilege level 15.
