Wireless Controller, Service Platform and Access Point CLI Reference Guide

Configures AAA TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System) policy. TACACS+ is a protocol created by CISCO Systems which provides access control to network devices such as routers, network access servers and other networked computing devices through one or more centralized servers. TACACS provides separate authentication, authorization, and accounting services running on different servers.

TACACS controls user access to devices and network resources while providing separate accounting, authentication, and authorization services. Some of the services provided by TACACS are:

Authorizing each command with the TACACS+ server before execution.
Accounting each session‘s logon and log off events.
Authenticating each user with the TACACS+ server before enabling access to network resources.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP460i/e, AP560i/h, AP510i/e, AP505i, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7612, AP7632, AP7662, AP8432, AP8533
