HI.

You can use &quot;aaa&quot; commands to authenticate the serial console against a TACACS/RADIUS server.

However, remember that serial console access still requires the &quot;enable&quot; password to do anything except of few &quot;show&quot; commands.

Also remember that anyone that has phisical access to the box and knows how to play with the pix, can do password recovery and break in ignoring your passwords.

Bye
