A Dell switch has a requirement that SSH users must authenticate with local credentials, but console users must authenticate with a shared password. The administrator wants to use method lists to achieve this. Which configuration approach is correct?

Use 'login local' on VTY lines and 'login password' on the console line.

Define a single method list with 'local' and apply it to all lines.

Define a single method list with 'enable' and apply it to all lines.

Define a method list with 'local' and apply it to VTY lines; define another method list with 'enable' and apply it to the console line.

A network administrator needs to create a local account for a new junior engineer on a Dell switch. The account must have a username of 'jdoe' and a password of 'SecurePass123'. The administrator is currently in global configuration mode. Which command should be used?

username jdoe secret SecurePass123

username jdoe password SecurePass123

user jdoe password SecurePass123

A security policy requires that all administrators authenticate with their individual local credentials when entering privileged EXEC mode. However, the network team also wants to retain the ability to use a shared 'enable' password as a fallback if the local database is somehow corrupted. Which configuration approach satisfies both requirements?

Configure 'enable local' and also set an 'enable password'.

Configure 'enable password' only.
