Authentication fallback is done by specifying multiple methods. If the
first one is unavailable, the next will be tried.

For the command "aaa authentication ppp use-radius local", "use-radius" is
the name of the method list, not a command to tell the router to use
RADIUS. Nothing on that line is telling the device to attempt to actually
authentication against the configured RADIUS server.

Subject:AAA and PPP

Hello,

I want to configure chap with aaa authentication.

My requirement says authentication should always fall back to local login
in the
event to connect to a radius server

My solution is as follows

R1

 Aaa new-model
!
 Aaa authentication ppp use-radius local
!
Radius server host x.x.x.x key xxxxx
!
Username cccc pass xxxxx
!
Int s0/0
**description serial conn to R2
Ppp authentication chap use-radius

!

On R2

Int s0/0
Decription conn to R1
Ppp chap hostname cccc
Ppp chap pass xxxxx

My question is will this fail back to local login if the radius server is not
available.
