Using Multiple Authentication Methods
- AAA authentication allow multiple servers & multiple authentication methods.
- So user can be authenticated even if one authentication method is not working.
- The aaa authentication command supports up to four methods on a single command.
- No limit to the number of RADIUS or TACACS+ servers that can be referenced.
- Logic used by IOS when using these methods are:
- Based on the 1st listed method first, if that methode not respond, move to the next & then next & so on until a method responds. Use the first- responding-server's decision (allow or reject).
- If no response occurs for any method, reject the request.
