Controlling Web Browser Interface
Access When Using TACACS+
Authentication
Configuring the switch for TACACS+ authentication does not affect web
browser interface access. To prevent unauthorized access through the web
browser interface, do one or more of the following:
■ Configure local authentication (a Manager user name and password
and, optionally, an Operator user name and password) on the switch.
Configure the switch's Authorized IP Manager feature to allow web
■
browser access only from authorized management stations. (The
Authorized IP Manager feature does not interfere with TACACS+
operation.)
Disable web browser access to the switch by going to the System
■
Information screen in the Menu interface and configuring the Web
Agent Enabled parameter to No.
