string

]

Specifies the order the switch queries the TACACS+ servers.
The range is 1 to 3. The server assigned the order value of 1
is queried first.

secret

Specifies the optional encryption key used on this server.
The maximum length is 39 characters.

Description

This command adds the IP address and encryption key of a TACACS+
server to the switch. This command can also specify the order the
TACACS+ servers are queried by the switch. You can add the IP
addresses of up to three TACACS+ servers on an AT-9400 Series switch.
This command can add only one TACACS+ server at a time.

Note

The switch must communicate with the authentication server
through a local network or subnet that has a routing interface. The
switch uses the IP address of the interface as its source address
when sending packets to the server. For background information,
refer to “Routing Interfaces and Management Features” on
page 560. Fo
r instructions on how to add a routing interface to the
switch, refer to “ADD IP INTERFACE” on page 573.

Examples

The following command adds a TACACS+ server with the IP address
149.245.22.20 and an order value of 1:

add tacacsserver ipaddress=149.245.22.20 order=1

The following command adds a TACACS+ server with an IP address of
149.245.22.24, an order of 2, and an encryption key of lioness54:

add tacacsserver ipaddress=149.245.22.24 order=2
secret=lioness54
