Usage
Information
By default, the Enable password is used. If you configure aaa authentication
enable default, Dell Networking OS uses the methods defined for Enable
access instead.
Methods configured with the aaa authentication enable command are
evaluated in the order they are configured. If authentication fails using the primary
method, Dell Networking OS employs the second method (or third method, if
necessary) automatically. For example, if the TACACS+ server is reachable, but the
server key is invalid, Dell Networking OS proceeds to the next authentication
method. The TACACS+ is incorrect, but the user is still authenticated by the
secondary method.
