GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual Configuring TACACS+ TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services: • Authentication: Provides authentication during login and via user names and user-defined passwords. • Authorization: Performed at login. When the authentication session is completed, an authorization session starts using the authenticated user name. The TACACS+ server checks the user privileges. The TACACS+ protocol ensures network security through encrypted protocol exchanges between the device and TACACS+ server. The TACACS+ folder contains links to the following features: • Configuring TACACS+ on page 153 • TACACS+ Server Configuration on page 154 TACACS+ Configuration The TACACS+ Configuration page contains the TACACS+ settings for communication between the switch and the TACACS+ server you configure via the inband management port.
