XS712T Smart Switch
TACACS+ Server Configuration
Use the TACACS+ Server Configuration screen to configure up to five TACACS+ servers
with which the switch can communicate.
To configure TACACS+ server:
1. Select Security Management Security > TACACS+ Server Configuration.
2. In the TACACS Server field, specify the IP address of the TACACS server.
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 screen.
3. In the Priority field, specify the order in which the TACACS+ servers are used.
A value of 0 is the highest priority. The valid range is 0–65535.
4. 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.
5. In the Key String field, specify the authentication and encryption key for TACACS+
communications between the XS712T and the TACACS+ server.
This key must match the encryption used on the TACACS+ server. The valid range is 0–128
characters.
6. 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.
7. Click Apply.
