server for authentication services. If the switch fails to connect to any

TACACS+ server, it defaults to its own locally assigned passwords for authen-

tication control if it has been configured to do so. For both Console and Telnet

access you can configure a login (read-only) and an enable (read/write)

privilege level access.

Terminology Used in TACACS

Applications:

■ NAS (Network Access Server): This is an industry term for a

TACACS-aware device that communicates with a TACACS server for

authentication services. Some other terms you may see in literature

describing TACACS operation are communication server, remote

access server, or terminal server. These terms apply to a Series

5300XL switches when TACACS+ is enabled on the switch (that is,

when the switch is TACACS-aware).

■ TACACS+ Server: The server or management station configured as

an access control server for TACACS-enabled devices. To use

TACACS+ with the Series 5300XL switches and any other TACACS-

capable devices in your network, you must purchase, install, and

configure a TACACS+ server application on a networked server or

management station in the network. The TACACS+ server application

you install will provide various options for access control and access

notifications. For more on the TACACS+ services available to you,

see the documentation provided with the TACACS+ server applica-

tion you will use.
