TACACS+
TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system while still retaining consistency
with RADIUS and other authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services:
• Authentication. Provides authentication during login using user names and user-defined
passwords.
• Authorization. Performed at login. When the authentication session is completed, an
authorization session starts using the authenticated user name. The TACACS+ server
checks the user privileges.
The TACACS+ protocol ensures network security through encrypted protocol exchanges
between the device and TACACS+ server.
The TACACS+ menu contains links to screens described to the following sections:
• TACACS+ Configuration
• TACACS+ Server Configuration
TACACS+ Configuration
The TACACS+ Configuration screen contains the TACACS+ settings for communication
between the switch and the TACACS+ server you configure through the inband management
port.
To configure global TACACS+ settings:
1. Select Security > Management Security > TACACS+ > TACACS+ Configuration.
2. In the Key String field, specify the authentication and encryption key for TACACS+
communications between the switch and the TACACS+ server.
The valid range is 0–128 characters. The key must match the key configured on the
TACACS+ server.
3. In the Connection Timeout field, specify the maximum number of seconds allowed to
establish a TCP connection between the switch and the TACACS+ server.
The valid range is 1–30 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
4. Click Apply to update the switch with the TACACS+ Accounting server settings.
