Configure a TACACS+ Server on the Switch
You can configure up to three TACACS+ servers with which the switch can communicate.
To configure a TACACS+ server on the switch:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Discover or Change the Switch IP
Address on page 12.
The login window opens.

password.
The System Information page displays.

ACACS+ > TACACS+ Server Configuration.
6. In the TACACS+ Server field, enter the TACACS+ server IP address.
7. In the Priority field, specify the priority for the TACACS+ server
.
The priority determines the order in which the TACACS+ servers are contacted when
attempting to authenticate a user. A value of 0 is the highest priority
. The range is from
0 to 65535.
8. In the Port field, specify the authentication port value for TACAS+ server sessions.
The value must be in the range from 0 to 65535. If you do not specify a value, the switch
uses the standard TCP port 49 for sessions with the server.
9. In the
Key String field, specify the authentication and encryption key for TACACS+
communications between the device and the TACACS+ server.
The range is from 0 to 128. The key must match the key used on the TACACS+ server.
10. In the Connection Timeout field, specify the time that passes before the connection
between the device and the T
ACACS+ server times out.
The range is from 1 to 30. If you do not specify a value, the switch uses a default value
of 5 seconds.
11. Click the Add button.
The server is added to the switch.
