You can create multiple method lists and assign them to different terminal lines.

LINE Assign a

or the
default
list
to the terminal line.
FTOS Behavior: If you use a method list on the console port in which RADIUS or TACACS is the last
authentication method, and the server is not reachable, FTOS allows access even though the
username and password credentials cannot be verified. Only the console port behaves this way, and
does so to ensure that users are not locked out of the system in the event that network-wide issue
prevents access to these servers.
Note: Dell Force10 recommends that you use the
none
method only as a backup. This method
does not authenticate users. The
none
and enable methods do not work with SSH.
