Primary TACACS+ Server
Hostname or IP address of Server a.b.c.d Port n
The IP address or hostname of the primary TACACS+ server is entered into the left-hand
text box. If required a port number may also be specified using the right-hand text box.
TACACS+ uses TCP port 49 by default. Entering a different number into this text box will
cause the router to use that port instead. The port number is used by both the primary and
secondary TACACS+ servers.
Server Key
The value in this text box specifies the encryption key to use when communicating with the
primary server.
Confirm Server Key
The key is typed into this text box to allow the router to confirm that the two strings are
identical.
Secondary TACACS+ Server
Hostname or IP address of Server
The value in this text box is the IP address or hostname of the secondary (backup)
TACACS+ server. This will be used if a socket to the primary server cannot be opened.

The value in this text box is the encryption key to use when communicating with the
secondary server.

Enter the key into this text box to allow the router to confirm that the two entries are
identical.
Enable local authentication if there is no response from the server(s)
When checked, this checkbox will allow local authentication if TACACS+ authentication fails.
Enable TACACS+ Authentication
When checked, this checkbox enables authentication. When authentication is enabled, user
authentication takes place on the TACACS+ server. When disabled, user authentication takes place
locally on the router.
Enable TACACS+ Authorisation
When checked, this checkbox enables authorisation which means that authorisation of the application
takes place and authorisation of application-related commands also takes place.
Enable TACACS+ Accounting
When checked, this checkbox enables accounting. When accounting is enabled, accounting messages
are sent at the start and end of application sessions (where applicable) and update messages are also
sent from command sessions when commands are denied locally or after they are executed.
