Dell N3200-ON EMC Networking N-Series Switches CLI Reference Guide version 6.7 - Page 962

When exec authorization is configured for a line mode, the use may not be required to use the enable command to enter Privileged Exec mode. If the authorization response indicates the user has privileges for Privileged Exec mode, then the switch bypasses User Exec mode entirely. If multiple authorization methods are listed, the switch will attempt communication with each method in order, until successful communication is established or all methods in the list have been tried. If authorization fails, then the command is denied and no further attempts at authorization are made for the user request. If no authorization server is available or configured, the function is denied unless the none method is configured in the list. If authorization is configured on the console, this can lead to situations where the console denies administrative access. Therefore, it is recommended that the console authorization only be enabled with due regard to the risks involved. If none is configured as the last method after radius or tacacs, no authorization is performed if the RADIUS/TACACS servers are down. The various utility commands like tftp and ping also must pass command authorization. Applying a script is treated as a single command apply script which also must pass authorization. Startup-config commands applied on device boot-up are not subject to the authorization process. Refer to the Line Commands section for information on configured an authorization method for a particular type of line access. Method Local TACACS None RADIUS Notes The local method is not supported for command authorization. This method is equivalent to selecting the none method when used for Exec authorization. Selects TACACS for command or exec authorization. Selecting the none method authorizes all commands. This option is valid for both command and Exec authorization. The radius method is valid for Exec authorization and Network authorization. Network and Exec authorization with RADIUS will work only if the applied authentication method is radius.
