Supported on the FN I/O aggregator.

Usage
Information

By default, the locally configured username password is used. If you configure aaa
authentication login default, Dell Networking Operating System (OS) uses
the methods this command defines for login instead.

Methods configured with the aaa authentication login command are
evaluated in the order they are configured. If users encounter an error with the first
method listed, Dell Networking Operating System (OS) applies the next method
configured. If users fail the first method listed, no other methods are applied. The
only exception is the local method. If the user’s name is not listed in the local
database, the next method is applied. If the correct user name/password
combination is not entered, the user is not allowed access to the switch.

NOTE: 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 Operating System (OS) proceeds to
the next authentication method. The TACACS+ is incorrect, but the user is still
authenticated by the secondary method.

After configuring the aaa authentication login command, configure the
login authentication command to enable the authentication scheme on
terminal lines.

Connections to the SSH server work with the following login mechanisms: local,
radius, and tacacs.
