Modem login authentication modes
The following authentication modes are available for modem dial-in login: none, password, and
scheme.
• none—Requires no username and password at the next login through modems. This mode is
insecure.
• password—Requires password authentication at the next login through the console port. Keep your
password. If you lose your password, you cannot log in to the device through password
authentication. You can log in to the device through the console port to view or modify the
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.
