TACACS+ Client

Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) is a logon authentication protocol that
uses software running on a central server to control access to TACACS-aware devices on the
network. An authentication server contains a database of multiple user name/password pairs with
associated privilege levels for each user or group that require management access to a switch.

tacacs-server host

This command specifies the TACACS+ server and other optional parameters. Use the no form to
remove the server, or to restore the default values.
