Specifying a TACACS+ Server Host
To specify a TACACS+ server host and configure its communication parameters, use the following
command.
• Enter the host name or IP address of the TACACS+ server host.
CONFIGURATION mode
tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address} [port port-number] [timeout
seconds] [key key]
Configure the optional communication parameters for the specific host:
–port port-number: the range is from 0 to 65535. Enter a TCP port number. The default is 49.
–timeout seconds: the range is from 0 to 1000. Default is 10 seconds.
–key key: enter a string for the key. The key can be up to 42 characters long. This key must match
a key configured on the TACACS+ server host. This parameter must be the last parameter you
configure.
If you do not configure these optional parameters, the default global values are applied.
Example of Connecting with a TACACS+ Server Host
To specify multiple TACACS+ server hosts, configure the tacacs-server host command multiple
times. If you configure multiple TACACS+ server hosts, the system attempts to connect with them in the
order in which they were configured.
To view the TACACS+ configuration, use the show running-config tacacs+ command in EXEC
Privilege mode.
To delete a TACACS+ server host, use the no tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address}
command.

Command Authorization
The AAA command authorization feature configures the Dell Networking OS to send each configuration
command to a TACACS server for authorization before it is added to the running configuration.
By default, the AAA authorization commands configure the system to check both EXEC mode and
CONFIGURATION mode commands. To enable only EXEC mode command checking, use the no aaa
authorization config-commands command.
