GS716Tv2 and GS724Tv3 Software Administration Manual
To configure TACACS+ server settings:
1. To add a new TACACS+ server, select Add from the TACACS+ Server field, enter the
IP address of the server to add, and click Apply.
Note: The Add option is available if fewer than five TACACS+ servers are
configured on the system, and the Server Address field is only
available when Add is selected in the TACACS+ Server IP Address
field.
After you add one or more TACACS+ servers, additional fields appear on the TACACS+
Server Configuration page.
2. In the Priority field, specify the order in which the TACACS+ servers are used. A value of 0
is the highest priority.
3. In the Port field, specify the authentication port number through which the TACACS+
session occurs. The default is port 49, and the range is 0–65535.
4. In the Key String field, specify the authentication and encryption key for TACACS+
communications between the GS716T or GS724T and the TACACS+ server. This key must
match the encryption used on the TACACS+ server. The valid range is 0–128 characters.
5. In the Connection Timeout field, specify the amount of time that passes before the
connection between the device and the TACACS+ server times out. The field range is from
1 to 30 seconds.
6. If you make changes to the page, or add a new entry, click Apply to apply the changes to
the system.
7. To delete a configured TACACS+ server, select the IP address of the server from the
TACACS+ Server drop down menu, and then click Delete.
