Command Usage
• RADIUS uses UDP while TACACS+ uses TCP. UDP only offers best
effort delivery, while TCP offers a connection-oriented transport. Also,
note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request
packet from the client to the server, while TACACS+ encrypts the entire
body of the packet.
• RADIUS and TACACS+ logon authentication assigns a specific
privilege level for each user name and password pair. The user name,
password, and privilege level must be configured on the authentication
server.
• Three authentication methods can be specified in a single command to
indicate the authentication sequence. For example, by entering
authentication enable radius tacacs local, the user name
and password on the RADIUS server is verified first. If the RADIUS
server is not available, then authentication is attempted on the
TACACS+ server. If the TACACS+ server is not available, the local user
name and password is checked.
