Information
By default, the Enable password is used. If aaa authentication enable default is configured,
FTOS will use 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.
