TACACS+ Authentication

Terminology Used in TACACS Applications:

TACACS+ server for authentication services. If the switch fails to connect to

any TACACS+ server, it defaults to its own locally assigned passwords for

authentication control if it has been configured to do so. For both Console

and Telnet access you can configure a login (read-only) and an enable (read/

write) privilege level access.

Notes Regarding Software release E.05.04 (or greater) for the Series 5300xl switches enables

Software

TACACS+ authentication, which allows or denies access to the switch on the

Release E.05.04

basis of correct username/password pairs managed by the TACACS+ server,

(or Greater) for

and to specify the privilege level to allow if access is granted. This release does

the Series

not support TACACS+ authorization or accounting services. (All software

5300xl Switches

releases for the Series 3400cl switches support TACACS+.)

TACACS+ does not affect web browser interface access. See “Controlling Web

Browser Interface Access” on page

4-24.

Terminology Used in TACACS

Applications:

■ NAS (Network Access Server): This is an industry term for a

TACACS-aware device that communicates with a TACACS server for

authentication services. Some other terms you may see in literature

describing TACACS operation are communication server, remote

access server, or terminal server. These terms apply to a switch

covered by this guide when TACACS+ is enabled on the switch (that

is, when the switch is TACACS-aware).

■ TACACS+ Server: The server or management station configured as

an access control server for TACACS-enabled devices. To use

TACACS+ with a switch covered by this guide and any other TACACS-

capable devices in your network, you must purchase, install, and

configure a TACACS+ server application on a networked server or

management station in the network. The TACACS+ server application

you install will provide various options for access control and access

notifications. For more on the TACACS+ services available to you,

see the documentation provided with the TACACS+ server applica-

tion you will use.
