How to Configure Switch-Based Authentication
Logging Into and Exiting a Privilege Level
Configuring TACACS+
This section describes how to configure your switch to support TACACS+. At a minimum, you must identify the host or
hosts maintaining the TACACS+ daemon and define the method lists for TACACS+ authentication. You can optionally
define method lists for TACACS+ authorization and accounting. A method list defines the sequence and methods to be
used to authenticate, to authorize, or to keep accounts on a user. You can use method lists to designate one or more
security protocols to be used, thus ensuring a backup system if the initial method fails. The software uses the first method
listed to authenticate, to authorize, or to keep accounts on users; if that method does not respond, the software selects
the next method in the list. This process continues until there is successful communication with a listed method or the
method list is exhausted.
