unable to access the switch through Console after enabling AAA

[mohammed hashim]

Hi,

I enabled aaa on catalyst switch, and able to access the switch through vty, but not through console:

Here are sample of my config:

username admin privilege 15 password cisco

!

radius server RADIUS_LDAP_Server
  address ipv4 10.10.10.10 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
  key test

!
aaa group server radius RADIUS_LDAP_Group
  server name RADIUS_LDAP_Server

aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group RADIUS_LDAP_Group local
aaa authorization exec default group RADIUS_LDAP_Group local
aaa authentication enable default enable
aaa session-id common

line con 0
password test-test
stopbits 1

!
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 0 0
privilege level 15
password test-test
logging synchronous
transport input ssh

At this config, SSH to the switch works with Radius credential. But I cannot access it through console port, I tried both Radius credential and local credential, non of them is working.

Now if I disconnect the switch from the network, I can then access through console port using local credential.

I want to access the switch when it is connected to the network with Radius credential through console port, how can I do that?

Hi there,

Try deleting the password from the line console. It should then use the default AAA authentication method.

!
line con 0
  no password
  login authentication default
!

cheers,

Seb.
