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.
