Configuring AAA Authentication Methods for an ISP Domain

In AAA, authentication, authorization, and accounting are separate processes. Authentication refers to

the interactive authentication process of username/password/user information during access or

service request. The authentication process neither sends authorization information to a supplicant

nor triggers any accounting.

AAA supports the following authentication methods:

z

No authentication (none): All users are trusted and no authentication is performed. Generally, this

method is not recommended.

z

Local authentication (local): Authentication is performed by the NAS, which is configured with the

user information, including the usernames, passwords, and attributes. Local authentication

features high speed and low cost, but the amount of information that can be stored is limited by

the hardware.
