Enabling TACACS
TACACS is disabled by default. To configure TACACS/TACACS+ authentication parameters, you must
enable TACACS by entering the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#enable snmp config-tacacs
Syntax: [no] enable snmp <config-radius | config-tacacs>
The <config-radius> parameter specifies the RADIUS configuration mode. RADIUS is disabled by
default.
The <config-tacacs> parameter specifies the TACACS configuration mode. TACACS is disabled by
default.
Identifying the TACACS/TACACS+ servers
To use TACACS/TACACS+ servers to authenticate access to a Dell PowerConnect device, you must
identify the servers to the Dell PowerConnect device.
For example, to identify three TACACS/TACACS+ servers, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#tacacs-server host 207.94.6.161
PowerConnect(config)#tacacs-server host 207.94.6.191
PowerConnect(config)#tacacs-server host 207.94.6.122
