Example usage:
To create a user-defined method list, named "Permit" for promoting user privileges to Administrator privileges:

Syntax
Description
Parameters
privileges to Administrator level privileges using authentication
methods on the Switch. Once a user acquires normal user level
privileges on the Switch, he or she must be authenticated by a
method on the Switch to gain administrator privileges on the Switch,
which is defined by the Administrator. A maximum of eight (8)
enable method lists can be implemented on the Switch.
<string 15> – Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 15 characters
to define the given enable method list to create.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Used to configure a user-defined method list of authentication
methods for promoting normal user level privileges to Administrator
level privileges on the Switch.
config authen_enable [default | method_list_name <string 15>]
method {tacacs | xtacacs | tacacs+ | radius | server_group
<string 15> | local_enable | none}
This command is used to promote users with normal level privileges
to Administrator level privileges using authentication methods on the
Switch. Once a user acquires normal user level privileges on the
Switch, he or she must be authenticated by a method on the Switch
to gain administrator privileges on the Switch, which is defined by
the Administrator. A maximum of eight (8) method lists can be
implemented on the Switch.
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 a "Admin" privilege.
default – The default method list for administration rights
authentication, as defined by the user. The user may choose one or
