GS752TXS and GS728TXS Smart Switches 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 described in the following sections. • Configuring TACACS+ • TACACS+ Server Configuration TACACS+ Configuration The TACACS+ Configuration screen contains the TACACS+ settings for communication between the switch and the TACACS+ server you configure via the inband management port.
