Did the module boot up correctly? An MSFC will do something like this also if the boot fails. I think there's another command other than 'session' that will get to the module. 'console' or 'switch' or something like that.

Subject: Re: aaa authorization (last method)
Dmitry,
I labbed up the scenarios described earlier, and the results I got were as
you suggest:
If you authenticate through any permitted AAA authentication method, then
the "if-authenticated" method will authorize, whether the AAA server is
reachable or not.
The only scenario I could find where this did not work was when I had NO
AAA
authentication commands, but did have AAA authorization commands. Here
the
"if-authenticated" will fail. When the AAA server is down, it still
fails,
and adding the "none" method to the end does not help.
So, I have to agree that I see no case in which having both
"if-authenticated" and "none" in the same list makes sense. One does seei
t
in legacy configs, maybe it is just superstition!
