key (TACACS Config)
Use the key command in TACACS Configuration mode to specify the authentication and
encryption key for all TACACS communications between the device and the TACACS server.
This key must match the key used on the TACACS daemon. The <key-string> parameter
specifies the key name. For an empty string use “ ”. The range is 0–128 characters.
Text-based configuration supports TACACS server’s secrets in encrypted and non-encrypted
format. When you save the configuration, these secret keys are stored in encrypted format
only. If you want to enter the key in encrypted format, enter the key along with the encrypted
keyword. In the output of the show running config command, these secret keys are
displayed in encrypted format. You cannot show these keys in plain text format.

Use this command in TACACS Configuration mode to specify a server port number. The
server <number> range is 0–65535.
priority (TACACS Config)
Use this command in TACACS Configuration mode to specify the order in which servers are
used, where 0 (zero) is the highest priority. The <priority> parameter specifies the priority
for servers. The highest priority is 0 (zero), and the range is 0 - 65535.
timeout (TACACS Config)
Use this command in TACACS Configuration mode to specify the time-out value in seconds.
