Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
•
Server IP Address—Enter the IP address of the TACACS+ server.
•
Priority—Enter the order in which this TACACS+ server is used. Zero is the
highest priority TACACS+ server and is the first server used. If it cannot
establish a session with the high priority server, the switch tries the next
highest priority server.
•
Source IP Address—(For SG500X devices and other devices in Layer 3
system mode). Select to use either the default source address or select one
of the available IP addresses.
•
Key String—Enter the default key string used for authenticating and
encrypting between the switch and the TACACS+ server. This key must
match the key configured on the TACACS+ server. A key string is used to
encrypt communications by using MD5. The key can be entered in
Encrypted or Plaintext form. If you do not have an encrypted key string (from
another device), enter the key string in plaintext mode and click Apply. The
encrypted key string is generated and displayed.
•
This overrides the default key string if one has been defined.
•
Timeout for Reply—Enter the amount of time that passes before the
connection between the switch and the TACACS+ server times out. Select
Use Default to use the default value displayed on the page.
•
Authentication IP Port—Enter the port number through which the
TACACS+ session occurs.
•
Single Connection—Select to enable receiving all information in a single
connection. If the TACACS+ server does not support this, the device reverts
to multiple connections.
To display sensitive data in plaintext form in the configuration file, click Display
Sensitive Data As Plaintext.
Click Apply. The TACACS+ server is added to the Running Configuration file of the
switch.
Remote Authorization Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers provide a centralized
802. 1 X or MAC-based network access control. The switch is a RADIUS client that
can use a RADIUS server to provide centralized security.
