method	Enter one of the following methods: `enable`: use the password the `enable password` command defines in CONFIGURATION mode. `line`: use the password the `password` command defines in LINE mode. `none`: no authentication. `radius`: use the RADIUS servers configured with the `radius-server host` command. `tacacs+`: use the TACACS+ server(s) configured with the `tacacs-server host` command.

Usage Information

By default, the Enable password is used. If you configure aaa authentication enable default, Dell Networking Operating System (OS) 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, Dell Networking Operating System (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.
