Authentication Server Group
This window will allow users to set up Authentication Server Groups on the Switch. A server group is a technique used to group
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server hosts into user-defined categories for authentication using method lists. The
user may define the type of server group by protocol or by previously defined server group. The Switch has three built-in
Authentication Server Groups that cannot be removed but can be modified. Up to eight authentications server hosts may be added
to any particular group.
To view the following window, click Security > Access Authentication Control > Authentication Server Group:

To add a user-defined group to the list, click the Add button in the Authentication Server Group window, which will display the
following window.
Figure 11- 26. Authentication Server Group Table Add Settings
Simply enter a group name of no more than 15 alphanumeric characters to define the user group to add. After clicking Apply, the
new user-defined group will be displayed in the Authentication Server Group window. Here, it can be configured as the user
desires.
NOTE: The user must configure Authentication Server Hosts using the Authentication
Server Hosts window before adding hosts to the list. Authentication Server Hosts must be
configured for their specific protocol on a remote centralized server before this function
can work properly.
NOTE: The four built in server groups can only have server hosts running the same
TACACS daemon. TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ protocols are separate entities and
are not compatible with each other.
This screen displays the Authentication
Server Groups on the Switch. The Switch
has four built-in Authentication Server
Groups that cannot be removed but can be
modified. To modify a particular group,
click its hyperlinked Group Name, which
will then display the following window.
To add an Authentication Server Host to
the list, enter its IP address in the IP
Address field, choose the protocol
associated with the IP address of the
Authentication Server Host and click Add
to Group to add this Authentication
Server Host to the group.
