TACACS+ Configuration

This chapter provides information about the commands used to configure and monitor TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access‐Control System Plus).

TACACS+ is a security protcol that provides services for secure authentication, CLI command authorization, and CLI auditing for administrative access. It can be used as an alternative to the standard RADIUS security protocol (RFC 2865). TACACS+ runs over TCP and encrypts the body of each management packet.

Based on the now obsolete TACACS protocol (defined in RFC 1492), TACACS+ is defined in an un‐published and expired Internet Draft draft‐grant‐tacacs‐02.txt, “The TACACS+ Protocol Version 1.78,” January, 1997.

For detailed information about using TACACS+ in your network, refer to the Enterasys Feature Guide “TACACS+ Configuration” located on the Enterasys web site:
