Table35-3 Add or Edit a TACACS+ Server Fields
Element Description
Server IP or Host Enter the IP address or the host name of the server. If the router has
not been configured to use a Domain Name Service (DNS) server,
enter an IP address.
Single Connection to Server Check this box if you want the router to maintain a single open
connection to the TACACS+ server, rather than opening and closing
a TCP connection each time it communicates with the server. A
single open connection is more efficient because it allows the
TACACS+ server to handle a higher number of TACACS+
operations.
Note This option is supported only if the TACACS+ server is
running CiscoSecure version 1.0.1 or later.
Server-specific setup Check Server-specific setup if you want to override AAA server
global settings, and specify a server-specific timeout value and
encryption key. You can make the following settings:
•Timeout (seconds)—Enter the number of seconds that the
router should attempt to contact this server before going on to
the next server in the group list. If you do not enter a value, the
router will use the value configured in the AAA Servers Global
Settings window.
•Configure Key—Optional. Enter the key to use to encrypt
traffic between the router and this server. If you do not enter a
value, the router will use the value configured in the AAA
Servers Global Settings window.
•New Key/Confirm Key—Enter the key and reenter it for
confirmation.
