To specify AAA authentication for Netware Asynchronous Services Interface (NASI) clients connecting through the access server, use the aaa authentication nasi global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable authentication for NASI clients.
aaa authentication nasi {default | list-name} method1 [method2...]
no aaa authentication nasi {default | list-name} method1 [method2...]
default Makes the listed authentication methods that follow this argument the default list of methods used when a user logs in.
list-name Character string used to name the list of authentication methods activated when a user logs in.
method1 [method2...] At least one of the methods described in Table 6.
If the default list is not set, only the local user database is selected. This has the same effect as the following command:
aaa authentication nasi default local
Global configuration
| Release | Modification | 11.1 | This command was introduced. |
|---|
The default and optional list names that you create with theaaa authentication nasi command are used with the nasi authentication command.
Create a list by entering the aaa authentication nasi command, where list-name is any character string that names the list (such as MIS-access ). The method argument identifies the list of methods the authentication algorithm tries in the given sequence. Method keywords are described in Table 6.
To create a default list that is used if no list is assigned to a line with the nasi authentication command, use the default argument followed by the methods that you want to use in default situations.
The remaining methods of authentication are used only if the previous method returns an error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all methods return an error, specify none as the final method in the command line.
If authentication is not specifically set for a line, the default is to deny access and no authentication is performed. Use the more system:running-config command to display currently configured lists of authentication methods.
| Keyword | Description |
| enable | Uses the enable password for authentication. |
| line | Uses the line password for authentication. |
| local | Uses the local username database for authentication. |
| none | Uses no authentication. |
| tacacs+ | Uses TACACS+ authentication. |
This command cannot be used with TACACS or extended TACACS.
The following example creates an AAA authentication list called list1 . This authentication first tries to contact a TACACS+ server. If no server is found, TACACS+ returns an error and AAA tries to use the enable password. If this attempt also returns an error (because no enable password is configured on the server), the user is allowed access with no authentication.
aaa authentication nasi list1 tacacs+ enable none
The following example creates the same list, but sets it as the default list that is used for all login authentications if no other list is specified:
aaa authentication nasi default tacacs+ enable none
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| ipx nasi-server enable | Enables NASI clients to connect to asynchronous devices attached to a router. |
| ip trigger-authentication (global configuration) | Enables the automated part of double authentication at a device. |
| nasi authentication | Enables AAA authentication for NASI clients connecting to a router. |
| show ipx nasi connections | Displays the status of NASI connections |
| show ipx spx-protocol | Displays the status of the SPX protocol stack and related counters. |
