Creating an HWTACACS scheme
The HWTACACS protocol is configured on a per scheme basis. Before performing other HWTACACS
configurations, follow these steps to create an HWTACACS scheme and enter HWTACACS scheme
view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create an HWTACACS scheme
and enter HWTACACS scheme
view.
NOTE:
Up to 16 HWTACACS schemes can be configured.
•
A scheme can be deleted only when it is not referenced.
•
Specifying the HWTACACS authentication servers
You can specify one primary authentication server and up to one secondary authentication server for an
HWTACACS scheme. When the primary server is not available, any secondary server is used. In a
scenario where redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
Follow these guidelines when you specify HWTACACS authentication servers:
• An HWTACACS server can function as the primary authentication server of one scheme and as the
secondary authentication server of another scheme at the same time.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary authentication servers cannot be the same.
•
Otherwise, the configuration fails.
You can remove an authentication server only when no active TCP connection for sending
•
authentication packets is using it.
To specify HWTACACS authentication servers for an HWTACACS scheme:
Step
1. Enter system view.
