Sets the requirement that the privilege level attribute (priv-lvl) must be specified for TACACS priv-levl authentication to occur.
| priv-levl | Specifies setting the requirement that the privilege level attribute for authentication to occur. |
| required | Fails login attempt if priv-lvl attribute is not provided. |
| optional | Allows login to occur with read-only privilege if priv-lvl is not provided. (default). |
By default, the priv-lvl is not required.
Using this command to set the privilege level attribute as required does not change any behavior associated with values received in the priv-lvl attribute, only the presence/absence of the attribute.
The following example makes the priv-lvl attribute required for TACACS authentication:
# configure tacacs priv-lvl required
