Edge-Core ES3528MV2 Management Manual page 311

RADIUS uses UDP while TACACS+ uses TCP. UDP only offers best effort
delivery, while TCP offers a more reliable connection-oriented transport.
Also, note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request
packet from the client to the server, while TACACS+ encrypts the entire
body of the packet.

If a remote authentication server is used, you must specify the
◆
message exchange parameters for the remote authentication protocol.
Both local and remote logon authentication control management access
via the console port, web browser, or Telnet.
◆ RADIUS and TACACS+ logon authentication assign a specific privilege
level for each user name/password pair. The user name, password, and
privilege level must be configured on the authentication server. The
encryption methods used for the authentication process must also be
configured or negotiated between the authentication server and logon
client. This switch can pass authentication messages between the
server and client that have been encrypted using MD5 (Message-Digest
5), TLS (Transport Layer Security), or TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer
Security).
