Configuring TACACS+ Server Groups

You can specify one or more remote AAA servers to authenticate users using server groups. All members of
a group must belong to the TACACS+ protocol. The servers are tried in the same order in which you configure
them.
You can configure these server groups at any time but they only take effect when you apply them to an AAA
service.
To configure TACACS+ server groups, perform this task:
