TACACS+ Authentication

Overview

server and (2) local passwords configured on the switch. That is, with TACACS+ configured, the switch first tries to contact a designated TACACS+ server for authentication services. If the switch fails to connect to any TACACS+ server, it defaults to its own locally assigned passwords for authentication control if it has been configured to do so. For both Console and Telnet access you can configure a login (read-only) and an enable (read/write) privilege level access.

Notes Regarding Software release G.05.xx (or greater) for the Series 4100GL switches enables

Software TACACS+ authentication, which allows or denies access to a Series 4100GL Release G.05.xx switches on the basis of correct username/password pairs managed by the

TACACS+ server, and to specify the privilege level to allow if access is granted. This release does not support TACACS+ authorization or accounting services.

In release G.05.xx, TACACS+ does not affect web browser interface access. See "Controlling Web Browser Interface Access" on page 2-24.
