NOTE:

Up to 16 HWTACACS schemes can be configured.

A scheme can be deleted only when it is not referenced.

Specifying the HWTACACS authentication servers

You can specify one primary authentication server and up to one secondary authentication server for an

HWTACACS scheme so that the NAS can find a server for user authentication when using the scheme.

When the primary server is not available, the secondary server is used. In a scenario where redundancy
is not required, specify only the primary server.
Follow these guidelines when you configure HWTACACS authentication servers:

An HWTACACS server can function as the primary authentication server of one scheme and
simultaneously as the secondary authentication server of another scheme.

The IP addresses of the primary and secondary authentication servers cannot be the same.
Otherwise, the configuration fails.

You can remove an authentication server only when no active TCP connection for sending
authentication packets is using it.
