Console login authentication modes
The following authentication modes are available for console port login: none, password, and scheme.
• none—Requires no username and password at the next login through the console port. This mode
is insecure.
• password—Requires password authentication at the next login through the console port. Keep your
password.
• scheme—Requires username and password authentication at the next login through the console
port. Authentication falls into local authentication and remote authentication. To use local
authentication, configure a local user and related parameters. To use remote authentication,
configure the username and password on the remote authentication server. Keep your username
and password.
The following table lists console port login configurations for different authentication modes:
