working properly, configure your TACACS+ server application for
console access. Then test the console access. If access problems occur,
check for and correct any problems in the switch configuration, and then
test console access again. If problems persist, check your TACACS+
server application for mis-configurations or missing data that could
affect the console access.

Before You Begin

If you are new to TACACS+ authentication, ProCurve recommends that you
read the “General Authentication Setup Procedure” on page 4-5 and configure
your TACACS+ server(s) before configuring authentication on the switch.

The switch offers three command areas for TACACS+ operation:

show authentication and show tacacs: Displays the switch’s TACACS+
configuration and status.

aaa authentication: A command for configuring the switch’s authenti-
cation methods

tacacs-server: A command for configuring the switch’s contact with
TACACS+ servers
