Example of a Failed Authentication

To view the configuration, use the show config in LINE mode or the show running-config tacacs
+ command in EXEC Privilege mode.
If authentication fails using the primary method, Dell Networking 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 OS proceeds to the next authentication method. In the following example,
the TACACS+ is incorrect, but the user is still authenticated by the secondary method.

First bold line: Server key purposely changed to incorrect value.

Second bold line: User authenticated using the secondary method.
