History
Version 8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
By default, the Enable password is used. If you configure aaa authentication
enable default
, the system 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, the system employs the second method (or third method, if necessary)
automatically. For example, if the TACACS+ server is reachable, but the server key
is invalid, the system proceeds to the next authentication method. The TACACS+ is
incorrect, but the user is still authenticated by the secondary method.
