Enable Method Lists Settings

Users can set up Method Lists to promote users with user level privileges to Administrator (Admin) 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 Enable Method Lists can be implemented on the Switch, one of which is a
default Enable Method List. This default Enable Method List cannot be deleted but can be configured.
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.

To delete an Enable Method List defined by the user, click the Delete button corresponding to the entry desired to be
deleted. To modify an Enable Method List, click on its corresponding Edit button.
The fields that can be configured are described below:
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.
