FTOS Configuration Guide for the C-Series - Force10 Networks

To specify a TACACS+ server host and configure its communication parameters, use the following
command in the CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
tacacs-server host {hostname |
ip-address} [port port-number]
[timeout seconds] [key key]
To specify multiple TACACS+ server hosts, configure the tacacs-server host command multiple times. If
multiple TACACS+ server hosts are configured, FTOS attempts to connect with them in the order in which
they were configured.
To view the TACACS+ configuration, use the show running-config tacacs+ command in the EXEC
privilege mode.
To delete a TACACS+ server host, use the no tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address} command.
Command Authorization
CONFIGURATION Enter the host name or IP address of the TACACS+
server host. Configure the optional communication
parameters for the specific host:
• port port-number range: 0 to 65335. Enter a
TCP port number. The default is 49.
• timeout seconds range: 0 to 1000. Default is 10
seconds.
• key key: Enter a string for the key. The key can
be up to 42 characters long. This key must
match a key configured on the TACACS+ server
host. This parameter should be the last
parameter configured.
If these optional parameters are not configured, the
default global values are applied.

The AAA command authorization feature configures FTOS to send each configuration command to a
TACACS server for authorization before it is added to the running configuration.
By default, the AAA authorization commands configure the system to check both EXEC mode and
CONFIGURATION mode commands. Use the command no aaa authorization config-commands to
enable only EXEC mode command checking.
