configuration in your TACACS+ server application for mis-configurations or missing data that could affect the server’s interoperation with the switch.

8.After your testing shows that Telnet access using the TACACS+ server is working properly, configure your TACACS+ server application for console access. Then test the console access. If access problems occur, check for and correct any problems in the switch configuration, and then test console access again. If problems persist, check your TACACS+ server application for mis-configurations or missing data that could affect the console access.

9.When you are confident that TACACS+ access through both Telnet and the switch’s console operates properly, use the write memory command to save the switch’s running-config file to flash memory.
