7.4 AAA TACACS Policy

Network configuration
Terminal Access Controller Access - Control System+ (TACACS+) is a protocol created by CISCO Systems which provides access
control to network devices such as routers, network access servers and other networked computing devices through one or
more centralized servers. TACACS+ provides separate authentication, authorization, and accounting services running on
different servers.
TACACS+ controls user access to devices and network resources while providing separate accounting, authentication, and
authorization services. Some of the services provided by TACACS+ are:
• Authorizing each command with the TACACS+ server before execution
• Accounting each session's logon and log off event
• Authenticating each user with the TACACS+ server before enabling access to network resources.
NOTE: For the rest of this section, the term TACACS will be used instead of TACACS+.
