Figure 72 TACACS+ Server Setup Chapter 28 Authentication and Accounting The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 56 TACACS+ Server Setup LABEL DESCRIPTION Authentication Server Use this section to configure your TACACS+ authentication settings. Mode This field is only valid if you configure multiple TACACS+ servers. Select index-priority and the switch tries to authenticate with the first configured TACACS+ server, if the TACACS+ server does not respond then the switch tries to authenticate with the second TACACS+ server. Select round-robin to alternate between the TACACS+ servers that it sends authentication requests to. Timeout Specify the amount of time in seconds that the switch waits for an authentication request response from the TACACS+ server. If you are using index-priority for your authentication and you are using two TACACS+ servers then the timeout value is divided between the two TACACS+ servers. For example, if you set the timeout value to 30 seconds, then the switch waits for a response from the first TACACS+ server for 15 seconds and then tries the second TACACS+ server. Index This is a read-only number representing a TACACS+ server entry. IP Address Enter the IP address of an external TACACS+ server in dotted decimal notation. TCP Port The default port of a TACACS+ server for authentication is 49. You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so. Shared Secret Specify a password (up to 32 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between the external TACACS+ server and the switch. This key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external TACACS+ server and the switch. MS-7206 User's Guide 163
