Configure the following parameters to add an Authentication Server Host:
Parameter Description
IP Address
The IP address of the remote server host to add.
Protocol
The protocol used by the server host. The user may choose one of the following:
TACACS - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the TACACS protocol.
XTACACS - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the XTACACS protocol.
TACACS+ - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the TACACS+ protocol.
RADIUS - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the RADIUS protocol.
Key
Authentication key to be shared with a configured TACACS+ or RADIUS servers only. Specify
an alphanumeric string up to 254 characters.
Port (1-65535)
Enter a number between 1 and 65535 to define the virtual port number of the authentication
protocol on a server host. The default port number is 49 for TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+
servers and 1813 for RADIUS servers but the user may set a unique port number for higher
security.
Timeout (1-255
secs)
Enter the time in seconds the Switch will wait for the server host to reply to an authentication
request. The default value is 5 seconds.
Retransmit (1-255
times)
Enter the value in the retransmit field to change how many times the device will resend an
authentication request when the TACACS server does not respond.
Click Apply to add the server host.
NOTE: More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical
server host but, remember that TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ are separate
entities and are not compatible with each other.
