Controlling Management Access

TACACS+ Settings

TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the

switch, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other

authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services:

Authentication — Provides authentication during login and through user

names and user-defined passwords.

Authorization — Performed at login. Once the authentication session is

completed, an authorization session starts using the authenticated user

name. The TACACS+ server checks the user privileges.

The TACACS+ protocol ensures network security through encrypted

protocol exchanges between the device and TACACS+ server.
To display the TACACS+ Settings page, click SystemManagement

SecurityTACACS+ Settings in the navigation panel.
