No Remote: administration is performed on the console only. Remote Internal only with AAA: administration can be performed on the router from a trusted internal network only, and AAA is used for access control. Remote Internal only: administration can be performed on the router from the internal network only. Remote External with AAA: administration can be performed with both internal and external connections and uses AAA for access control. Remote External: administration can be performed with both internal and external connections.

RAT SSH has been added to Level 2

The user is given a choice between telnet and SSH Separate Access Control Lists used for telnet and SSH "exec-timeout" increased to 10 minutes Comments about password resuse added Level 2 authentication now requires a local username The prohibition against local usernames in Level 2 was removed "no ip proxy-arp" moved to Level 2 Allow egress filters to be applies on internal interfaces Documented preference for SNMP V3 if SNMP is used Rule to forbid SNMP without an ACL moved to Level 1 Loopback rules refer user to local policy Timestamp debug rule added to Level 1 Added a note about line passwords being redundant User can now specificy AAA name-list variable ("default", "local_auth" ...).

This was needed to support 12.3's "auto-secure" feature Exec timeout is now a maximum value for all lines (con 0, aux 0), not an exact value. This allows the rules to accommodate settings that are shorter/more restrictive without flagging an error
