The device can act as a Terminal Access Controller Access Control System

accessing the device, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and other
authentication processes.
TACACS+ provides the following services:
• Authentication — Provides authentication during login and via user
names and user-defined passwords.
•
Authorization — Performed at login after authentication. The TACACS+
server checks the privileges of the authenticated user.
The TACACS+ protocol ensures network integrity through encrypted
protocol exchanges between the device and TACACS+ server.
To configure TACACS+ servers:

Click Switch Management > Management Security > TACACS+ .
The list of currently-defined TACACS+ servers is displayed. The
parameters for each server is displayed, along with its connection status.

following fields:

to connect to the TACACS server.
–
