A Dell switch has two VTY line groups: VTY 0-4 for network administrators and VTY 5-15 for read-only monitoring systems. The administrators must authenticate with local credentials, while the monitoring systems must authenticate with a shared password. The administrator wants to configure this using method lists. Which approach is correct?

Define one method list with 'local' and apply it to all VTY lines.

Define one method list with 'enable' and apply it to all VTY lines.

Define two method lists and apply them to the respective VTY line groups.

Use the 'login local' command on VTY 0-4 and 'login password' on VTY 5-15.

A Dell switch has a local user 'backup' that is used by a backup server to connect via SSH. The backup server's script was updated and now uses a new password 'NewBackup2024'. The administrator needs to update the password for this account. They are concerned about disrupting the backup job. What is the most appropriate action?

Delete the account and recreate it with the new password.

Re-enter the username command with the new password.

Use the 'enable password' command to change the password.

Use the 'password backup NewBackup2024' command.

What is the purpose of the 'username' command in global configuration mode on a Dell switch?
