I looks like your AAA commands are right, now what you need to do is map the login name to the line. so it will look like this
line vty 0 4
login authentication radius-local

Ok, the vty commands helped. I can now login, but enable mode fails and based on the server logs, is not trying to use radius. Is there a way to:
a) get enable to do radius authentication
or
b) be put into enable mode once i am authenticated for login?
Here are the radius related commands I'm using now:
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login RADIUS group radius local
aaa authentication login enable group radius group radius local
!
radius-server host 172.16.1.30 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key *********
radius-server key ******
!
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 60 0
password 7 **********
login authentication RADIUS
Here is what i use for AAA with Tacas+
Setup AAA on IOS
tacacs-server host (host)
tacacs-server key (key)
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local
aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable
aaa accounting exec default stop-only group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 1 default stop-only group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 15 default stop-only group tacacs+
aaa authorization exec default group tacacs+ none
aaa authorization commands 1 default group tacacs+ none
aaa authorization commands 15 default group tacacs+ none
what you need to do is change from tacacs+ to radius, and you don't need the accounting and authorization because radius doesn't support it. Also you will need to change from Default to the login name you want to use.
