The document provides an overview of implementing the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), including comparing ASA solutions to other routing firewall technologies, explaining ASA operation and models for various use cases. It outlines objectives for configuring basic ASA firewall services like access lists, network address translation, and authentication. The document also covers advanced ASA policies using the modular policy framework.
Authentication is configured locally on the router using AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting). The router authenticates users against the local database. Authentication methods include passwords stored locally or using a protocol like RADIUS or TACACS+. The document discusses configuring local authentication, adding usernames/passwords, and troubleshooting authentication.
Authentication is configured locally on the router using usernames and passwords stored in the local database. The authentication process authenticates users trying to access the router using the local username/password database. Logging into interfaces like VTY lines use the authentication method list which specify authentication is done using the local database by default. Failed login attempts are tracked and accounts can be locked out if too many failed attempts occur.
