Part 2: Configure Local AAA
Part 3: Configure Server-Based AAA using RADIUS on A1
Part 4: Configure Server-Based AAA using TACACS+ on D1

Background / Scenario
Using AAA-based services allows for more granular control of access to your devices. In this lab you will
configure local AAA users and then server-based AAA leveraging RADIUS and TACACS+. Centralized
management of usernames and passwords, as well as privileges and allowed commands, makes overall
network access security management much simpler.
Note: This lab is an exercise in configuring options available for AAA-based authentication and does not
necessarily reflect network troubleshooting best practices.

Lab - Configure Local and Server-Based AAA Authentication

Part 2: Configure Local AAA Authentication

One significant drawback to using local authentication is that it offers no backup capability. Adding AAA
services to your device gives you this capability. The basic configurations you loaded do not include any
username/password protection on the console or vty lines. In this part of the lab, you will use local AAA to add
that functionality.
Note: Do not save your configuration beyond this point, just in case you are locked out of the device. This
gives you the ability to restart the device and start again at this point versus doing a password recovery and
potentially having to reconfigure everything.

a. Create a local user.

Open configuration window

a. Create a local user named localuser with a scrypt-encrypted password of cisco123.

A1(config)# username localuser algorithm-type scrypt secret cisco123
b. Verify that the configuration is present in running-config by issuing the command show run | include
username.
A1# show run | include username
username localuser secret 9
$9$FYuVSfDjMKy7hU$SCFRKN.aehfb6f7rguVl6TWTlnpQmNVHqBolXXjRrp.

b. Enable AAA new-model.

Enable AAA on the device with the global configuration command aaa new-model.
A1(config)# aaa new-model

c. Create and test a default method list.

A single named method list allows you to configure up to four AAA methods for a given operation on the
device. These methods will be used in the order they are configured. If any method results in a rejection, then
the attempt fails. If the method is unavailable, then the next configured method will be used.
Method lists are named with either a custom name or the name default. A custom-named method list must be
configured to intercept the operation of concern. A default method list applies to every instance of a given
operation on the device, without any additional configuration.
Operations supported by AAA Authentication include:
A1(config)# aaa authentication ?
arap Set authentication lists for arap.
attempts Set the maximum number of authentication attempts
banner Message to use when starting login/authentication.
dot1x Set authentication lists for IEEE 802.1x.
enable Set authentication list for enable.
eou Set authentication lists for EAPoUDP
fail-message Message to use for failed login/authentication.
local-override Local accounts always get checked first.
login Set authentication lists for logins.
onep Set authentication lists for ONEP
password-prompt Text to use when prompting for a password
ppp Set authentication lists for ppp.
rejected Set blocking action for failed logins
sgbp Set authentication lists for sgbp.

tacacs+ Use TACACS+ authentication.
Note: Do not save your configuration until you have tested the default method list and verified that it works.
a. Create a default method list for login that uses the enable password.
A1(config)# aaa authentication login default enable
b. Because this method list is a default for the login process, it is now in effect for every possible login
vector, without any additional configuration. Issue the show run | section line con command and note
that the login command is not present in any form.
A1# show run | section line con
line con 0

d. Create and test a named method list.

a. Create another method list for login, but this time name the list VTY-AUTH. This method list should use
the local database only.
A1(config)# aaa authentication login VTY-AUTH local
b. Apply the VTY-AUTH method list to the vty lines.
A1(config)# line vty 0 4
A1(config-line)# login authentication VTY-AUTH
A1(config-line)# exit
c. Now use Telnet from a PC to A1. You are now prompted for a username and then a password. Use the
username localuser and password cisco123 and see if you can log in.

Part 3: Configure Server-Based AAA using RADIUS on A1

The main drawback to local authentication of any sort is that it cannot be centrally managed. To change a
password for a particular user, you must configure each device in the network that person accesses.
Obviously, this is not very efficient, and could consume a lot of time. Using a centralized authentication server
is much more efficient.
There are two main authentication protocols, RADIUS and TACACS+. In this part, we will focus on RADIUS.
It is important that you know the RADIUS server ports. The standard ports are UDP/1812 for authentication
and authorization and UDP/1813 for accounting. Cisco IOS defaults to RADIUS to using UDP ports 1645 for
authentication and authorization and 1646 for accounting. In our lab, we are using a RADIUS server listening
on the standard ports. Therefore, the port numbers must be set as a part of the configuration.

a. Configure a radius server.

Create an individual server object for each RADIUS server that is serving your network.
Open configuration window

a. Create the server using the command radius server name.

A1(config)# radius server RADIUS
A1(config-radius-server)#
b. Configure the address and the port numbers used for this RADIUS server.
A1(config-radius-server)# address ipv4 192.168.1.5 ?
acct-port UDP port for RADIUS accounting server (default is 1646)
alias 1-8 aliases for this server (max. 8)
auth-port UDP port for RADIUS authentication server (default is 1645)
<cr>
A1(config-radius-server)# address ipv4 192.168.1.5 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813

c. Configure the shared secret for this RADIUS server. The RADIUS server we are using has a shared
secret set to $trongPass.
A1(config-radius-server)# key $trongPass
A1(config-radius-server)# exit

Lab - Configure Local and Server-Based AAA Authentication

Note: The example configuration is being deployed on a 2960 switch. On an IOS-XE based device, after
entering the key, you will receive a warning that in the future you must use an encrypted key.
WARNING: Command has been added to the configuration using a type 0 password. However,
type 0 passwords will soon be deprecated. Migrate to a supported password type

d. Verify the radius server creation with the command show radius server all. As you can see from the
output below, the radius server is automatically put into a server group called radius.
A1# show radius server all
Server group radius
Sharecount = 1 sg_unconfigured = FALSE
Type = standard Memlocks = 1
Server(192.168.1.5:1812,1813) Transactions:
Authen: 0 Author: 0 Acct: 0
Server_auto_test_enabled: FALSE
Keywrap enabled: FALSE

b. Configure a method list to use the AAA server group RADIUS.

a. Create a method list that utilizes the AAA server group radius as its primary authentication server and the
local database as the backup authentication method.
A1(config)# aaa authentication login RAD-AUTH group radius local
b. Apply the newly created method list to the vty lines.
A1(config)# line vty 0 4
A1(config-line)# login authentication RAD-AUTH
A1(config-line)# exit
c. Test the configuration by using Telnet from your PC to A1. You should be prompted for a username and
password. In this case, the username on our RADIUS server is raduser and the password is upass123.
d. Disconnect the Telnet session.
e. At the console of A1, issue the command debug radius authentication. Then, return to your PC and
connect to A1 via Telnet. This time, use the localuser account you created at the beginning of the lab. It
will not work. After the login attempt fails, go back to the console of your device and look at the debug
output. You should see an “ACCESS-REJECT” message.

f. Disconnect the Telnet session, then shutdown the port connecting your RADIUS server to the switch and
use Telnet to access A1 again. Provide the localuser name and password once again. You will see that
the device falls back to the second option, which is the local user database.
Close configuration window

Part 4: Configure Server-Based AAA using TACACS+ on D1

TACACS+ was developed by Cisco and released as an open standard beginning in 1993. It is an
incompatible derivation of the original TACACS protocol, handling authentication, authorization, and
accounting services. TACACS+ works differently than RADIUS by separating the authentication and
authorization components. This allows TACACS+ to provide granular control of what an authenticated user is
allowed to do. Other differences include operating over TCP (TCP port 49) instead of UDP, and encrypting
the entire TACACS+ packet. RADIUS only encrypts passwords. In this part of the lab, you will configure a
TACACS+ server and method list for use on the vty lines.

a. Enable AAA new-model.

Open configuration window

Enable AAA on the device with the global configuration command aaa new-model.
D1(config)# aaa new-model

b. Create a local user.

Create a local user named localuser with a scrypt-encrypted password of cisco123.
D1(config)# username localuser algorithm-type scrypt secret cisco123

c. Configure a TACACS+ server.

a. Create the server using the command tacacs server [name].
D1(config)# tacacs server TACACS
b. Configure the address used for this TACACS server.
D1(config-server-tacacs)# address ipv4 192.168.1.5

 2020 - 2020 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Page 9 of 12 www.netacad.com
Lab - Configure Local and Server-Based AAA Authentication

c. Configure the shared secret for this TACACS server. If your AAA server is the Cisco Networking
Academy-provided Ubuntu server, the shared secret is set to $trongPass.
D1(config-server-tacacs)# key $trongPass
Note: The example configuration is being deployed on a 3650 switch. On an IOS-XE based device, after
entering the key, you will receive a warning that in the future you must use an encrypted key.
WARNING: Command has been added to the configuration using a type 0 password. However,
type 0 passwords will soon be deprecated. Migrate to a supported password type

d. Configure the single-connection option, which causes the device to maintain the TCP connection to the
TACACS+ server. This cuts down on connections to the AAA server and can help to speed up the AAA
process between the device and the server.
D1(config-server-tacacs)# single-connection
D1(config-server-tacacs)# exit
e. Create a group for the TACACS servers, and identify the servers belonging to the group. The servers are
queried in the order they are added to the group.
D1(config)# aaa group server tacacs+ TACACS-GP
D1(config-sg-tacacs+)# server name TACACS
D1(config-sg-tacacs+)# exit
D1(config)# end
f. Verify the TACACS server creation with the command show tacacs.
D1# show tacacs

d. Configure an authentication method list to use the AAA server group TACACS-GP.
Getting started, first establish TACACS as the authentication server and login with a privileged account.
a. Create a default authentication method list for the login process. Reference the TACACS server group
first and then the local database.
D1(config)# aaa authentication login default group TACACS-GP local
b. Create a default authorization method list for the EXEC process, referencing the TACACS server group
first and then the none method.
D1(config)# aaa authorization exec default group TACACS-GP none
Note: The none method should never be used in a production environment.

Lab - Configure Local and Server-Based AAA Authentication

c. Log out of the console and log back in. If your AAA server is the Cisco Networking Academy CCNP VM,
use the username tacadmin and password tacpass1. Issue the enable command and provide the
configured enable secret cisco12345cisco. This should work and you should be in privileged EXEC
mode.
d. Issue the command show privilege and you should be advised that you are operating at privilege level 15.
D1# show privilege
Current privilege level is 15

e. Configure method lists to use AAA server group TACACS-GP.

To fully utilize TACACS+, several method lists must be configured.
a. Create three authorization default methods lists, one for privilege 0, one for privilege 1, and one for
privilege 15. In each list, reference the TACACS server group first and then the none method.
D1(config)# aaa authorization commands 0 default group TACACS-GP none
D1(config)# aaa authorization commands 1 default group TACACS-GP none
D1(config)# aaa authorization commands 15 default group TACACS-GP none
b. Create a default accounting method list for the exec process using start-stop accounting and reference
the TACACS server group only.
D1(config)# aaa accounting exec default start-stop group TACACS-GP
c. Create a default accounting method list for commands at level 15 using start-stop accounting and
reference the TACACS server group only.
D1(config)# aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group TACACS-GP
d. Configure AAA authorization for config-commands.
D1(config)# aaa authorization config-commands
e. Configure AAA authorization for the console.
D1(config)# aaa authorization console
f. Logout of the device.
Close configuration window

f. Verify AAA using TACACS.

a. From PC1, use Telnet to access D1. If your AAA server is the Cisco Networking Academy CCNP VM, use
the username tacreader and password tacpass2. You should be logged in successfully at user EXEC.
b. Attempt to enter privileged EXEC mode and you will be denied. Attempt to issue the show ip interface
brief command and you will be allowed. Log out.
c. From PC1, use Telnet to access D1. If your AAA server is the Cisco Networking Academy CCNP VM, use
the username tacadmin and password tacpass1.
d. Login should be successful. You should be able to enter global configuration mode. Attempt to make a
trivial change to the device, such as changing the motd banner. You should be allowed to do so. Log out.
e. If you have access to the TACACS+ server, examine the accounting file located at
/var/log/tac_plus.acct. You should see a record of your activity as tacreader and tacadmin.
f. As a challenge, you can configure server-based AAA using RADIUS or TACACS+ server on R1.

class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example
of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in
Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
