1. Why is local database authentication preferred over a password-only login?
It specifies a different password for each line or port.
It provides for authentication and accountability.
It requires a login and password combination on console, vty lines, and aux ports.
It is more efficient for users who only need to enter a password to gain entry to a device.

2. What is a characteristic of AAA?
Authorization can only be implemented after a user is authenticated.
Accounting services are implemented prior to authenticating a user.
Accounting services determine which resources the user can access and which operations the user is allowed to perform.
Authorization records what the user does, including what is accessed, the amount of time the resource is accessed, and any changes that were made.

5. Which two statements describe AAA authentication? (Choose two. )
Server-based AAA authentication is more scalable than local AAA authentication.
Local AAA is ideal for large complex networks because it uses the local database of the router for authentication.

TACACS+ provides authorization of router commands on a per-user or per-group basis.
TACACS+ uses UDP port 1645 or 1812 for authentication, and UDP port 1646 or 1813 for accounting
