TACACS+ The Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) security protocol is a recent protocol

developed by Cisco. It provides detailed accounting information and ﬂexible administrative control over

authentication and authorization processes. TACACS+ allows a single access control server (the TACACS+

daemon) to provide authentication, authorization and accounting services independently. Each service can be

tied into its own database to take advantage of other services available on that server or network, depending on

the capabilities of the daemon. There is a draft RFC detailing this protocol. Further information on conﬁguring

remote TACACS+ servers can be found at the following websites:

9.1.3 RADIUS Authentication

Perform the following procedure to conﬁgure the RADIUS authentication method used whenever the console server or any of

its serial ports or hosts are accessed:

• Select Serial and Network: Authentication. Check RADIUS, LocalRADIUS, RADIUSLocal or RADIUSDownLocal.

• Enter the Server Address (IP or host name) of the remote authentication/authorization server. Multiple remote servers may

be speciﬁed in a comma-separated list. Each server is tried in succession.

• Session accounting is on by default. If session accounting information is not desired, check the Disable Accounting

checkbox. One reason often cited for not wanting session accounting is, if the authentication server does not respond to

accounting requests, the said request may introduce a delay when logging in.

• In addition to multiple remote servers, you can also enter separate lists of authentication/authorization servers and

accounting servers. If no accounting servers are speciﬁed, the authentication/authorization servers are used instead.

• Enter the Server Password.

• Click Apply. RADIUS remote authentication will now be used for all user access to console server and serially or network

attached devices.
