As shown in Figure 35, to perform local login through the AUX port, use the same cable and login
procedures as console login. For a device with separate console and AUX ports, you can use both ports
to log in to the device.
Figure 35 AUX login diagram
To control AUX logins, configure authentication and user privilege for AUX port users.
By default, password authentication applies to AUX login, but no login password is configured. To allow
AUX login, you must configure a password.
The following are authentication modes available for controlling AUX logins:
• None—Requires no authentication and is insecure.
• Password—Requires a password for accessing the CLI.
• Scheme—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote authentication. You must provide a
username and password for accessing the CLI. If the username or password configured on a remote
server was lost, contact the server administrator for help.
