Version Description
8.3.7.0 Introduced on the S4810.
7.6.1.0 Introduced on the S-Series.
7.5.1.0 Introduced on the C-Series.
6.2.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
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.
