HMG-838PT & HMG-838EPT Web Configuration 5-49
5-4 TACACS+
TACACS+ Server Configuration:
Global Configuration
Timeout: The time the switch waits for a reply from a TACACS+ server before it retransmits the request.
Deadtime: Deadtime is the period during which the switch will not send new requests to a server that has failed to
respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually trying to contact a server that it has
already determined as dead. Setting the Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only
if more than one server has been configured. The allowed deadtime range is between 0 to 1440 minutes.
Key: Specify the secret key up to 63 characters. This is shared between a TACACS+ sever and the switch.
Server Configuration
Hostname: The hostname or IP address for a TACACS+ server.
Port: The TCP port number to be used on a TACACS+ server for authentication.
Timeout: If timeout value is specified here, it will replace the global timeout value. If you prefer to use the global
value, leave this field blank.
Key: If secret key is specified here, it will replace the global secret key. If you prefer to use the global value, leave
this field blank.
