Parameters
ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the primary HWTACACS authorization server.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the primary HWTACACS authorization server.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the primary HWTACACS authorization server. The
value range for the TCP port number is 1 to 65535. The default setting is 49.
key: Specifies the shared key for secure communication with the primary HWTACACS authorization
server.
cipher: Specifies the key in encrypted form.
simple: Specifies the key in plaintext form. For security purposes, the key specified in plaintext form
will be stored in encrypted form.
string: Specifies the key. This argument is case sensitive.
•
In non-FIPS mode, the encrypted form of the key is a string of 1 to 373 characters. The plaintext
form of the key is a string of 1 to 255 characters.
•
In FIPS mode, the encrypted form of the key is a string of 15 to 373 characters. The plaintext
form of the key is a string of 15 to 255 characters. The plaintext string must contain digits,
uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters.
single-connection: The device and the primary HWTACACS authorization server use the same
TCP connection to exchange all authorization packets for all users. If you do not specify this
keyword, the device establishes a new TCP connection each time it exchanges authorization
packets with the primary authorization server for a user. As a best practice, specify this keyword to
reduce TCP connections for improving system performance if the HWTACACS server supports the
single-connection method.
