Traffic Type—The Traffic Type list defines the direction in which traffic to
•
and from the remote AAA server is permitted to flow from this
Cisco Secure ACS. The list includes the following options:
Inbound—The remote AAA server accepts requests that have been
–
forwarded to it and does not forward the request to another AAA server.
Select this option if you do not want to permit any authentication requests
to be forwarded from the remote AAA server.
Outbound—The remote AAA server sends out authentication requests
–
but does not receive them. If a Proxy Distribution Table entry is
configured to proxy authentication requests to a AAA server that is
configured for Outbound, the authentication request is not sent.
Inbound/Outbound—The remote AAA server forwards and accepts
–
authentication requests. This allows the selected server to handle
authentication requests in any manner defined in the distribution tables.
Before You Begin

configuration, see AAA Server Configuration Options, page

must ensure that gateway devices between the remote AAA server and
Cisco Secure ACS permit communication over the ports that support the
applicable AAA protocol (RADIUS or TACACS+). For information about ports
used by AAA protocols, see
page 1-6.
