Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software

tacacs-server host

Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The key keyword must be entered last because it uses a line (text with breaks) rather than a string (text only, with no breaks). Any text and line breaks up to the time the user presses Enter can be used as part of the key.

You can use multiple tacacs-server host commands to specify additional hosts. Cisco IOS XR software searches for hosts in the order in which you specify them.

Task ID	Task ID	Operations
	aaa	read, write
Examples	The following example shows how to specify a TACACS+ host with the IP address 209.165.200.226:
	RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# tacacs-server host 209.165.200.226
	RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-tacacs-host)#

The following example shows that the default values from the tacacs-server host command are displayed from the show run command:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show run
