Usage Information
By default, the locally configured username password is used. If you configure aaa
authentication login default, Dell Networking Operating System (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 Networking Operating System (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.
