About the TACACS+ Encryption Key
The encryption key is used to encrypt all data packets between the PRO2 and the TACACS+ server:
• The key must match the key configured on the TACACS+ server.
• The key can be up to 60 alphanumeric characters and is case sensitive.
For security, characters in the key are not displayed.
•
• If you provide "0" for the key, the result may be that the key is not applied, as "0" may not be supported by
the TACACS+ server. It is recommended for product environment and security not to enter "0" for the key.
• The Encryption Key Status field on the screen displays "(set)" or "(not set)" to indicate current status of the
key.
To configure the encryption key:
1. Type the New Encryption Key in the field provided.
2. In the Verify New Encryption Key field, retype the key.
3. Click Apply.
