Cisco packet tracer router configuration

#Cisco packet tracer router configuration password#

AAA server configuration on Packet Tracer Make sure service state is selected as вЂonвЂ™ as shown below screenshot. Next click on the server icon and click on service and then click on AAA tab. On the packet tracer, you need to add a generic server to the switch and set the IP to 10.1.1.10. Switch(config-line )# login authentication myauth Note: the key string вЂmykeyвЂ™ will be used to encrypt the session the key вЂmykeyвЂ™ should only be known to the server and the switch. Switch(config)# tacacs-server host 10.1.1.10 key mykey Note: when TACACS server becomes unreachable, you use switchвЂ™s local database for authentication. Switch(config)# aaa authentication login myauth group tacacs+ local

#Cisco packet tracer router configuration password#

You need to configure username and password on the AAA as well, which can be different than the local username and password. Note: this is a username and password setup on the switchвЂ™s local database. Switch(config)# username cisco password cisco

Assign the authentication in the VTY line so that when users try to Telnet/SSH to the switch, they are challenged for a username and password.

Define AAA server host IP and set secret key which will be shared between the switch and the AAA server.

The following are the three generic steps:

To use AAA you need to enable it and then connect it to an AAA service hosted in a server. Cisco switches are capable of implementing AAA functionality with either TACACS+ protocol (Cisco proprietary) or RADIUS protocol. AAA functionality in Cisco switch can be used as a centralized solution to secure and control user access to switches.
