List Name The method list name. A method list is a sequential list describing
the authentication methods to be queried in order to au thenticate a
user. If the NAC wizard was used to create a NAC configuration, the
list name “default” is displayed in this column.

If one of the servers in this method authenticates the user (sends a
PASS response), authentication is successful. If a server returns a
FAIL response, authentication fails. If no servers in the first method
respond, then the router uses the next method in the list. Methods
can be ordered when you create or edit a method list.

Method 4
The methods, in order, that the router will use if the servers
referenced in method 1 do not respond. If there are fewer th an four
methods, the positions for which no list has been configured are
kept empty.
