What to Do Next
After configuring RADIUS server groups, define method lists by configuring authentication,
authorization, and accounting. (See the
“Configuring AAA Method Lists” section.)
Configuring TACACS+ Server Groups
This task configures TACACS+ server groups.
The user can enter one or more server commands. The server command specifies the hostname or IP
address of an external TACACS+ server. Once configured, this server group can be referenced from the
AAA method lists (used while configuring authentication, authorization, or accounting). (See the
“Method Lists” section.)
Prerequisites
For configuration to succeed, the external server should be accessible at the time of configuration.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure
2. aaa group server tacacs+ group-name
3. server {host-name | ip-address}
4. Repeat Step 3. for every external server to be added to the server group named in Step 2.
5. end
or
commit
6. show tacacs server-groups
