11: User Authentication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TACACS+

TACACS+ allows a remote access server to communicate with an

 

(Terminal Access

authentication server to determine whether the user has access to the

 

Controller Access

network. TACACS+ is a completely new protocol and is not compatible

 

Control System)

with TACACS or XTACACS. The SLB branch office manager supports

 

 

TACACS+ only.

 

 

 

 

Local Users

Local accounts authenticate users who attempt to log in via SSH,

 

 

Telnet, the Web, or the console port.
