Dell N3200-ON Networking N-Series Switches CLI Reference Guide version 6.8.0 - Page 1105

User Guidelines The tacacs-server key command accepts any printable characters for the key except a question mark. Enclose the string in double quotes to include spaces within the key. The surrounding quotes are not used as part of the name. The CLI does not filter illegal characters and may accept entries up to the first illegal character or reject the entry entirely. If no encryption parameter is present, the key string is interpreted as an unencrypted shared secret. Keys are always displayed in their encrypted form in the running configuration. In an Access-Request, encrypted passwords are sent using the RSA Message Digest algorithm (MD5). The encryption algorithm is the same across switches. Encrypted passwords may be copied from one switch and pasted into another switch. Command History Updated in version 6.3.0.1 firmware.
