• None-Requires no authentication. This mode is insecure. • Password-Requires password authentication. • Scheme-Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote console login authentication. You must provide a username and password for accessing the CLI. If the username or password configured on a remote server was lost, contact the server administrator for help. By default, console login does not require authentication. Any user can log in through the console port without authentication and have user privilege level 3. To improve device security, configure the password or scheme authentication mode immediately after you log in to the device for the first time.
