After configuring RADIUS authentication on a switch, you notice that authentication works when tested from the console, but fails when attempted via SSH. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The SSH line is configured to use a different authentication method list that does not include RADIUS.

The RADIUS shared secret is incorrect.

The RADIUS server is not reachable from the switch's management interface.

The SSH service is not enabled on the switch.

Which statement accurately describes how authentication precedence works in a method list on a Dell PowerEdge XE switch?

The switch always uses local authentication first, regardless of the method list.

All methods are tried simultaneously, and the first to respond is used.

The first method in the list is tried first; if it returns an error (e.g., server unreachable), the next method is tried.

The last method in the list is tried first to ensure the most secure method is used.

Which configuration step is required to enable TACACS+ authentication for console login on a Dell PowerEdge XE switch?

Set the console line to 'login local' and then add the TACACS+ server as a backup.

Enable TACACS+ globally and reboot the switch for it to take effect.

Only configure the TACACS+ server; it will automatically apply to all login methods.

Configure the TACACS+ server and then apply it to the console line using the 'login authentication' command.
