Add a TACACS+ Server

Before you begin

Only admin users can perform this procedure.

About this task

Perform this procedure to add a TACACS+ server host to the client server list.

Note

When a list of servers is configured, failover from one server to another server happens only when a TACACS+ server fails to respond; it does not happen when user authentication fails.

Procedure

Enter the Config mode.
```
device(config)# 
```

Configure the TACACS+ server IP address.

device(config)# tacacs-server host 10.2.3.5
device(config-tacacs-config)#

Configure the required plain-text or encrypted shared secret key string.
```
device(config-tacacs-config)# plain-key "new#hercules*secret*"
```

Return to the Exec mode and verify the configuration.

device(config-tacacs-config)# end
device# show running-config tacacs-server tacacs-server host 10.2.3.5 encrypted-key jahasjikjdoaskjuihuhiaoljsiaknkaiua=
