Chapter 83: RADIUS and TACACS+ Client Commands
1222 Section XI: Management Security
SERVER-BASED AUTHENTICATION TACACS
Syntax
server-based authentication tacacs
Parameters
None.
Mode
Global Configuration mode
Description
Use this command to activate remote authentication with the TACACS+
client. Your current management session is not interrupt when you
activate remote authentication.
Note
If the switch is unable to communicate with the authentication
servers when a manager logs on, because either the servers are not
responding or the RADIUS or TACACS+ client is configured
incorrectly, the switch automatically reactivates the local manager
accounts so that you can continue to log on and manage the unit.
If the RADIUS client is active on the switch, it is deactivated when you
activate the TACACS client because only one authentication client can be
active on the switch at a time.
Confirmation Command
“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 129
Example
This example activates the TACACS+ client for remote authentication of
manager accounts:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# server-based authentication tacacs
