The sequence of methods implemented in this command will affect the authentication result. For example, if a user
enters a sequence of methods like TACACS - XTACACS - Local Enable, the Switch will send an authentication
request to the first TACACS host in the server group. If no verification is found, the Switch will send an
authentication request to the second TACACS host in the server group and so on, until the list is exhausted. At that
point, the Switch will restart the same sequence with the following protocol listed, XTACACS. If no authentication
takes place using the XTACACS list, the Local Enable password set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user.
Successful authentication using any of these methods will give the user an "Admin" privilege.
NOTE: To set the Local Enable Password, see the next section, entitled Local Enable Password.

Description
Enter a method list name defined by the user of up to 15 characters.
The user may add one, or a combination of up to four of the following authentication
methods to this method list:
none - Adding this parameter will require no authentication needed to access the
Switch.
local_enable - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the
local enable password database on the Switch. The local enable password must be set
by the user in the next section entitled Local Enable Password.
radius - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the
RADIUS protocol from a remote RADIUS server.
tacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the
TACACS protocol from a remote TACACS server.
tacacs+ - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the
TACACS protocol from a remote TACACS server.
xtacacs - Adding this parameter will require the user to be authenticated using the
XTACACS protocol from a remote XTACACS server.
