Enhancement Summary Page
TACACS+ TACACS+ authentication enables you to use a central server to allow or deny
access to Series 2500 switches (and other TACACS-aware devices) in your
network. This means that you can use a central database to create multiple
unique username/password sets with associated privilege levels for use by
individuals who have reason to access the switch from either the switch’s
console port (local access) or Telnet (remote access).
