General System RequirementsTo use TACACS+ authentication, you need the following:

Release F.02.02 or later software running on your Series 2500 switch. Ensure that software release F.02.02 or later is running on your switch. Use any of the following methods to view the current software version:

A TACACS+ server application installed and configured on one or more servers or manage- ment stations in your network. (There are several TACACS+ software packages available.)

A switch configured for TACACS+ authentication, with access to one or more TACACS+ servers.

Note

The Series 2500 switches include the capability of configuring multiple backup TACACS+ servers. HP recommends that you use a TACACS+ server application that supports a redundant backup installation. This allows you to configure the switch to use a backup TACACS+ server if it loses access to the first-choice TACACS+ server.
