Configuring the CSS as a Client of a
TACACS+ Server
The Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) protocol
provides access control for routers, network access servers (NAS), or other
devices through one or more daemon servers. TACACS+ encrypts all traffic
between the NAS and daemon using TCP communications for reliable delivery.
You can configure the CSS as a client of a TACACS+ server to provide a method
for authentication of users, and a method of authorization and accounting of
configuration and nonconfiguration commands.
This chapter contains the following major sections:
• TACACS+ Configuration Quick Start
• Configuring TACACS+ Server User Accounts for Use with the CSS
• Configuring Global TACACS+ Attributes
• Defining a TACACS+ Server
• Setting TACACS+ Authorization
• Setting TACACS+ Accounting
• Showing TACACS+ Server Configuration Information
After you configure the TACACS+ server on the CSS, configure TACACS+
authentication for virtual or console authentication. Refer to Chapter 1,
Controlling CSS Access for details.
