• Scheme—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote console login authentication. You must
provide a username and password for accessing the CLI. For more information about authentication
modes and parameters, see Access Control Configuration Guide. Keep your username and
password.
By default, console login does not require authentication. Any user can log in through the console port
without authentication and have user privilege level 3. To improve device security, configure the
password or scheme authentication mode immediately after you log in to the device for the first time.
