DESCRIPTION
Use this section to configure your TACACS+ authentication settings.
This field is only valid if you configure multiple TACACS+ servers.
Select index-priority and the system tries to authenticate with the first configured
TACACS+ server, if the TACACS+ server does not respond then the system tries to
authenticate with the second TACACS+ server.
Select round-robin to alternate between the TACACS+ servers that it sends
authentication requests to.
Specify the amount of time in seconds that the system waits for an authentication
request response from the TACACS+ server.
If you are using index-priority for your authentication and you are using two
TACACS+ servers then the timeout value is divided between the two TACACS+
servers. For example, if you set the timeout value to 30 seconds, then the system
waits for a response from the first TACACS+ server for 15 seconds and then tries
the second TACACS+ server.
This is a read-only number representing a TACACS+ server entry.
Enter the IP address of an external TACACS+ server in dotted decimal notation.
The default port of a TACACS+ server for authentication is 49. You need not
change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared
between the external TACACS+ server and the system. This key is not sent over
the network. This key must be the same on the external TACACS+ server and the
MSC.
Check this box if you want to remove an existing TACACS+ server entry from the
MSC. This entry is deleted when you click Apply.
Use this section to configure your TACACS+ accounting settings.
Specify the amount of time in seconds that the system waits for an accounting
request response from the TACACS+ server.
This is a read-only number representing a TACACS+ accounting server entry.
Enter the IP address of an external TACACS+ accounting server in dotted decimal
notation.
The default port of a TACACS+ server for accounting is 49. You need not change
this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared
between the external TACACS+ accounting server and the system. This key is not
sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external TACACS+
accounting server and the system.
Check this box if you want to remove an existing TACACS+ accounting server entry
from the system. This entry is deleted when you click Apply.
Click Apply to save the changes in this screen to the system's volatile memory. The
system loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Config
Save on the navigation panel and then the Save button to save your changes to the
non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
