4: Advanced Operations
The following command sets the secondary TACACS+ server address to
tacacs.lantronix.com:
SLP: set tacacs host2 tacacs.lantronix.com<Enter>
Setting the TACACS+ encryption key:
The Set TACACS Key command sets the encryption key used to encrypt all data
packets between the SLP and the TACACS+ server. This key must match the key
configured on the TACACS+ server.
To set the encryption key:
At the SLP: prompt, type set tacacs key and press Enter.
At the TACACS+ Key: prompt, type an encryption key of up to 60 alphanumeric and
other typeable characters - (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal) are allowed; encryption keys
are case sensitive. Press Enter. To specify no password, press Enter.
At the Verify TACACS+ Key: prompt, retype the key. Press Enter. To verify no
password, press Enter at the prompt.
Example
SLP: set tacacs key<Enter>
TACACS+ Key: <Enter>
Verify TACACS+ Key: <Enter>
For security, key characters are not displayed.
Note: A key size of zero results in no encryption being applied which may
not be supported by the TACACS+ server and is not recommended for a
production environment.
Changing the TACACS port:
With TACACS support enabled, the SLP sends TACACS requests to the default
TACACS port number 49. This port number may be changed using the Set TACACS
Port command.
To change the TACACS port:
At the SLP: prompt, type set tacacs port, followed by the port number and press
Enter.
Example
The following changes the TACACS port number to 50:
SLP: set tacacs port 50<Enter>
Setting the authentication order:
The Set Authorder command sets the authentication order for remote authentication
sessions. The SLP supports two methods for authentication order - Remote -> Local
and Remote Only.
The Remote -> Local method first attempts authentication with the TACACS+ server
and if unsuccessful with the local user database on the SLP device.
