Basic Configuration
CircuitAccess: Determines the default Circuit Access setting for new TACACS
users. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = All Circuits On,
User = All Circuits Off, ViewOnly = All Circuits Off)
Notes:
• Administrator and SuperUser level accounts always have access to all
circuits.
• User level accounts will only have access to the circuits that are defined via
the "Circuit Access" parameter.
• ViewOnly accounts are not allowed to invoke switching and reboot
commands.
CircuitGroupAccess: Determines the default Circuit Group Access setting
for new TACACS users. For more information on Circuit Groups, please refer to
Section 5.6. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = All Circuit Groups On,
User = All Circuit Groups Off, ViewOnly = All Circuit Groups Off)
Notes:
• In order to use this feature, Circuit Groups must first be defined as described
in Section 5.6.
• Administrator and SuperUser level accounts will always have access to all
circuit groups.
• User Level accounts will only have access to the circuit groups that are
defined via the Circuit 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)
• PingTest: 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.
Notes:
• In order for the Ping Test feature to function, your network and/or firewall
must be configured to allow ping commands.
• In addition to the Ping Test feature, the /TEST command in the Text Interface
or the "Test" option in the Web Browser Interface can also be used to ping
any user defined IP address in order to make certain that the IP address is
responding.
