In addition to providing authentication and authorization services, the TACACS+ protocol
helps to ensure TACACS message protection through encrypted TACACS body messages.
TACACS+ is supported only with IPv4.
Some TACACS+ servers support a single connection that enables the device to receive all
information in a single connection. If the TACACS+ server does not support this, the device
reverts to multiple connections.

The user-configurable, TCP port used for TACACS+ server accounting is the same TCP port
that is used for TACACS+ server authentication and authorization.
