working properly, configure your TACACS+ server application for
console access. Then test the console access. If access problems occur,
check for and correct any problems in the switch configuration, and then
test console access again. If problems persist, check your TACACS+
server application for mis-configurations or missing data that could
affect the console access.

the switch's console operates properly, use the write memory command
to save the switch's running-config file to flash memory.
