Example of Connecting with a TACACS+ Server Host
To specify multiple TACACS+ server hosts, configure the tacacs-server host command multiple
times. If you configure multiple TACACS+ server hosts, Dell Networking OS attempts to connect with
them in the order in which they were configured.
To view the TACACS+ configuration, use the show running-config tacacs+ command in EXEC
Privilege mode.
To delete a TACACS+ server host, use the no tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address}
command.
