Serial Interface and Security

[dallas31]

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone had some ideas for configuring additional security on a 7200 synchronous serial interface other than access-lists when dialing in with a modem. I would like to know if its possible to be asked for a username and password before being allowed to go through the router and seeing the Windows Logon. There is no soho router between the host and the 7200 router, and there is no access to an AAA/Kerberos/Tacacs server for authentication that way. Any ideas?

Thanks

You cannot connect a sync interface to an async modem. But if you a sync/async interface then you can configure using the command aaa authentication login with a keyword of Local, you can configure a local database of username and password for authentication.

For the command usage check the following URL
