Chapter 20: Security Configuration Guide

Configuring TACACS Plus

You can secure login or Enable mode access to the SSR by enabling a TACACS Plus client. A TACACS Plus server responds to the SSR TACACS Plus client to provide authentication.

You can configure up to five TACACS Plus server targets on the SSR. A timeout is set to tell the SSR how long to wait for a response from TACACS Plus servers.

To configure TACACS Plus security, enter the following commands in Configure mode:

Specify a TACACS Plus server.

tacacs-plus set server <hostname or IP-addr>

 

 

Set the TACACS Plus time to wait

tacacs-plus set timeout <number>

for a TACACS Plus server reply.
