Usage
Information
By default, the locally configured username password is used. If you configure aaa authentication
login default, Dell EMC Networking OS uses the methods this command defines for login instead.
Methods configured with the aaa authentication login command are evaluated in the order they
are configured. If users encounter an error with the first method listed, Dell EMC Networking OS applies
the next method configured. If users fail the first method listed, no other methods are applied. The only
exception is the local method. If the user’s name is not listed in the local database, the next method is
applied. If the correct user name/password combination is not entered, the user is not allowed access to
the switch.
