FIGURE 11 AAA TACACS Policy - Authentication Server
NOTE
Only 2 AAA TACACS Authentication servers can be configured at a time.
7. Define the following settings to add or modify a AAA TACACS authentication server
configuration:
Click OK to close the Authentication Server dialog and save the changes. Click Reset to revert to
the last saved configuration. Click Exit to close the Authentication Server dialog.
Server Id Set numerical server index (1-2) for the authentication server when added to the list of available
TACACS authentication server resources.
Host Specify the IP address or hostname of the AAA TACACS server.
Port Define or edit the port on which the AAA TACACS server listens to traffic. The port range is 1 -
65,535. The default port is 49.
Secret Specify (and Reconfirm) the secret (password) used for authentication between the selected AAA
TACACS server and the controller, service platform or Access Point. By default the secret is
displayed as asterisks.
Request Attempts Set the number of connection request attempts to the TACACS server before it times out of the
authentication session. The available range is from 1 - 10. The default is 3.
Request Timeout Specify the time for the re-transmission of request packets after an unsuccessful attempt. The
default is 3 seconds. If the set time is exceeded, the authentication session is terminated.
Retry Timeout Factor Set the scaling of retransmission attempts from 50 - 200 seconds. The timeout at each attempt is
the function of the retry timeout factor and the attempt number. 100 (the default value) implies a
constant timeout on each retry. Smaller values indicate more aggressive (shorter) timeouts. Larger
numbers define more conservative (larger) timeouts on each successive attempt. The default is
100.
