Unified Switch

When a user attempts to log into the switch, the NAS or switch prompts for a user name and password. The switch attempts to communicate with the highest priority configured TACACS+ server at 10.10.10.10. Upon successful connection with the server, the switch and server exchange the login credentials over an encrypted channel. The server then grants or denies access, which the switch honors, and either allows or does not allow the user to gain access to the switch. If neither of the two servers can be contacted, the switch searches its local user database for the user.

Configuring TACACS+ by Using CLI Commands

The following CLI commands perform the configuration described in the example.

config

tacacs-server host 10.10.10.10 key tacacs1

exit

tacacs-server host 11.11.11.11 key tacacs2 priority 2

exit

authentication login tacacsList tacacs local users defaultlogin tacacsList

exit
