Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 601

An engineer must implement a configuration to allow a network administrator to connect to the console port of a router and authenticate over the network. Which command set should the engineer use?

Answer options

• A. aaa new-model aaa authentication login console local
• B. aaa new-model aaa authentication login console group radius
• C. aaa new-model aaa authentication login default enable
• D. aaa new-model aaa authentication enable default

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it enables authentication for console access using a RADIUS server, which is suitable for network authentication. Option A uses local authentication, which does not fulfill the requirement for network-based authentication. Option C uses the 'enable' method, which is not appropriate for console access, and option D configures default enable authentication, which also does not apply to console logins.
