TACACS+ Authentication

Configuring TACACS+ on the Switch

Configuring the Switch’s Authentication Methods

The aaa authentication command configures the access control for console

port and Telnet access to the switch. That is, for both access methods, aaa

authentication specifies whether to use a TACACS+ server or the switch’s local

authentication, or (for some secondary scenarios) no authentication (meaning

that if the primary method fails, authentication is denied). This command also

reconfigures the number of access attempts to allow in a session if the first

attempt uses an incorrect username/password pair.

Syntax: aaa authentication

< console | telnet >

Selects either console (serial port) or Telnet access for

configuration.

< enable | login >

Selects either the Manager (enable) or Operator (login)

access level.

< local | tacacs | radius >

Selects the type of security access:

local — Authenticates with the Manager and Operator

password you configure in the switch.

tacacs — Authenticates with a password and other

data configured on a TACACS+ server.

radius — Authenticates with a password and other

data configured on a RADIUS server. (Refer to chapter

6, “RADIUS Authentication and Accounting”.)

[< local | none >]

If the primary authentication method fails, determines

whether to use the local password as a secondary method

or to disallow access. Local is only available as a second-

ary method if the primary method is tacacs or radius.

aaa authentication num-attempts < 1-10 >

Specifies the maximum number of login attempts allowed in

the current session. Default: 3
