Usage
Information
By default, the Enable password is used. If you configure aaa authentication
enable default, FTOS 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, FTOS employs
the second method (or third method, if necessary) automatically. For example, if the TACACS+
server is reachable, but the server key is invalid, FTOS proceeds to the next authentication
method. The TACACS+ is incorrect, but the user is still authenticated by the secondary method.
