TACACS+ Configuration

The switch is a Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) client that can use a TACACS+ server to provide centralized security.

TACACS+ provides the following services:

The TACACS+ protocol ensures network integrity, through encrypted protocol exchanges between the device and the TACACS+ server.

TACACS+ is supported only with IPv4.

TACACS+ servers cannot be used as 802.1X authentication servers to verify credentials of network users trying to join the networks through the switch.

Some TACACS+ servers support a single connection that enables the device to receive all information in a single connection. If the TACACS+ server does not support this, the device reverts to multiple connections.
