Basic Configuration
PlugAccess: Determines the default Plug Access setting for new TACACS
users. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = All Plugs On,
User = All Plugs Off, ViewOnly = All Plugs Off.)
Notes:
• Administrator and SuperUser level accounts always have access to all plugs.
• User level accounts will only have access to the plugs that are defined via the
"Plug Access" parameter.
• ViewOnly accounts are not allowed to invoke switching and reboot
commands.
PlugGroupAccess: Determines the default Plug Group Access setting for
new TACACS users. For more information on Plug Groups, please refer to
Section 5.6. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = All Plug Groups On,
User = All Plug Groups Off, ViewOnly = All Plug Groups Off.)
Notes:
• In order to use this feature, Plug Groups must first be defined as described in
Section 5.6.
• Administrator and SuperUser level accounts will always have access to all
plug groups.
• User Level accounts will only have access to the plug groups that are
defined via the Plug Group Access parameter.
• ViewOnly accounts are not allowed to invoke switching and reboot
commands.
ServiceAccess: Selects the default Service Access setting for new TACACS
users. The Service Access setting determines whether each account will be able
to access command mode via Serial Port, Telnet/SSH or Web. For example,
if Telnet/SSH Access is disabled for an account, then the account will not be
able to access command mode via Telnet or SSH. (Default = Serial Port = On,
Telnet/SSH = On, Web = On.)
Current/PowerMetering: (VMR Only) Selects the default enable/disable
status for the Current/Power Metering setting. When Current/Power Metering is
disabled, an account will not be able to view current or power readings or display
current or power history. Note that in order for accounts to be able to display
these logs, Current and Power Metering must be enabled via the Systems
Parameters menu as described in Section 5.3. (Default = On.)
Note: Current and Power Metering functions are not available on NPS units.
• PingTest: (Text Interface Only) Allows you to ping IP addresses or domain names
that have been defined via the TACACS Parameters menus in order to check that a
valid IP address or domain name has been entered.
Note: In order for the Ping Test feature to function, your network and/or firewall
must be configured to allow ping commands.
