This page allows you to configure the TACACS+ servers.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Global Configuration | |
| Timeout | Timeout is the number of seconds (1 – 1000) to wait for a reply from a TACACS+ server before it is considered to be dead. |
| Deadtime | Deadtime (0 – 1440 minutes) is the period during
which the switch will not send new requests to a server that has failed to
respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually
trying to contact a server that it has already determined as dead. Setting the Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if more than one server has been configured. |
| Key | The secret key (up to 63 characters) shared between the TACACS+ server and the switch. |
| Server Configuration | |
| Delete | To delete a TACACS+ server entry, check this box. The entry will be deleted during the next Save. |
| Hostname | The IP address or hostname of the TACACS+ server. |
| Port | The TCP port to use on the TACACS+ server for authentication. |
| Timeout | This optional setting overrides the global timeout value. Leaving it blank will use the global timeout value. |
| Key | This optional setting overrides the global key. Leaving it blank will use the global key. |
