xStack DES-3500 Series Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual Enter a group name of up to 15 alphanumeric characters to identify the users Group Name and click Add. The user's new Group Name will then appear in the Authentication Server Group Settings window as seen below, defined as Trinity. Figure 7- 10. Authentication Server Group Settings window The new group may be modified in the same way as the other groups, by clicking the hyperlinked name. Yet, unlike the other groups, the user-defined Group Name can have any combination of Protocol hosts to be in this group. (Ex. TACACS - XTACACS - TACACS+) NOTE: The user must configure Authentication Server Hosts using the Authentication Server Hosts window before adding hosts to the list. Authentication Server Hosts must be configured for their specific protocol on a remote centralized server before this function can work properly. NOTE: The three built in server groups can only have server hosts running the same TACACS daemon. TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ protocols are separate entities and are not compatible with each other. Authentication Server Hosts This window will set user-defined Authentication Server Hosts for the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS security protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with Authentication Policy enabled, the Switch will send authentication packets to a remote TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server host on a remote host. The TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server host will then verify or deny the request and return the appropriate message to the Switch. More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server host but, remember that TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS are separate entities and are not compatible with each other. The maximum supported number of server hosts is 16. To view the following window, click Security Management > Access Authentication Control > Authentication Server Host: Figure 7- 11.
