aaa authentication enable
This command is used to set authentication when the user access higher privilege level,
use the aaa authentication enable default command in global configuration mode.
The default and optional list names that you create with the aaa authentication
enable command are used with the enable authentication command.
Create a list by entering the aaa authentication enable list-name method
command where list-name is any character string used to name this list. The method
argument identifies the list of methods that the authentication algorithm tries, in the given
sequence. The additional methods of authentication are used only if the previous method
returns an error, not if it fails. To ensure that the authentication succeeds even if all
methods return an error, specify none as the final method in the command line. For
example, if none is specified as an authentication method after radius, no authentication
is used if the radius server is down. All aaa authentication enable default requests
sent by the switch to a RADIUS or TACACS server include the username "$enabx$.",
where x is the requested privilege level.
