Fallbacks
This scenario shows how to set up a fallback mechanism for RADIUS/TACACS+ through Telnet/SSH.
Test Authentication Fallback
Description
This scenario checks all the different combinations
of RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication with/without
fallback configuration through SSH and Telnet.
The user baduser is configured in the local
database, but it is not authorized in the remote
server. Therefore, if the server is reachable or
if local fallback is not specified, login should fail.
Scenario
Example 1
Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.168.64/24 set service ssh aaa authentication LIST set service telnet set system aaa group tacacs GROUP server SRV set system aaa list LIST method 1 group tacacs GROUP set system aaa list LIST method 2 local set system aaa server tacacs SRV address 10.215.168.1 set system aaa server tacacs SRV encrypted-key U2FsdGVkX1+DB0b9JFMGwWd4gV9WuCHccYN9GvuRYK4= set system login aaa authentication LIST set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0' set system login user baduser authentication encrypted-password '$6$tZMRnY1PRTgE3Xnl$SHOimBq/./r./SpkV2b7aSpMKaqDbNZO4hA7tzZzVawM2bz6CXIlbIy9n1eaX.tes3A7cEPiW4mtHOwPZJNEd.' set system vrf test
Step 2: Ping the IP address 10.215.168.1 from DUT0:

Step 3: Initiate an SSH connection from DUT0 to IP address 127.0.0.1 using user baduser which is expected to fail:
admin@DUT0$ ssh baduser@127.0.0.1 option StrictHostKeyChecking=no option UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/nullShow output
Permission denied, please try again. baduser@127.0.0.1's password:
Step 4: Initiate a Telnet connection from DUT0 to IP address 127.0.0.1 which is expected to fail:
