Usage Information
By default, the Enable password is used. If you congure aaa authentication enable
default, Dell Networking OS uses the methods dened for Enable access instead.
Methods congured with the aaa authentication enable command are evaluated in the order they
are congured. 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.
