9.5.2 Tacacs+
The Terminal Access Controller Access Control System + (Tacacs+) protocol is
similar to the Radius protocol. It uses the client/server mode for communication
between the network access server (NAS) and the Tacacs+ server. However, Tacacs+
works based on TCP, and Radius works based on UDP.
The Tacacs+ protocol is mainly used for AAA of end users and Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) and virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) access users. Its
typical application is to authenticate, authorize, and perform accounting for an
end user who needs to log in to the device for operations. As a Tacacs+ client,
the device sends the user name and password to the Tacacs+ server for
verification. After authentication and authorization, the user can log in to the
device for operations.
Method for enabling the Tacacs+ server for the gateway:
Click "Administration >> AAA >> Tacacs+". In "Server List", enter the server
address (domain name/IP address), port ID, and authentication key, click Add, and
then click Apply & Save.
