aaa optional-passwords


Specifies the system password or no password when the last resort method of authentication is enabled.

Syntax: [no] aaa optional-passwords

Description: Last-resort authentication allows you to access the Avici router if all defined AAA servers are unreachable. By default, when last-resort authentication is enabled, the system password is used as the AAA password.

Use the aaa optional-passwords command to configure the Avici router to use the system password as the last resort. (This is the default.)

Use the no aaa optional-passwords command to configure the Avici router to require no password.

NOTE It is not recommended to configure AAA to require no passwords.

Factory Default: Last-resort authentication uses the system password.

Command Mode: Configuration.

Example: In the following example, the no aaa optional-passwords command configures the Avici router to require no password when last-resort authentication is enabled:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#no aaa optional-passwords
