Enhancements in Release F.02.02
TACACS+ Authentication for Centralized Control of Switch Access Security
General System Requirements
To use TACACS+ authentication, you need the following:
■ Release F.02.02 or later software running on your Series 2500 switch. Ensure that software
release F.02.02 or later is running on your switch. Use any of the following methods to view
the current software version:
CLI:
HP2512> show version
Menu Interface:
From the Main Menu, click on
1. Status and Counters . . .
1. General System Information
(Check the version number on the Firmware revision line.)
Web Browser Interface:
Click on the
Identity tab.
■ A TACACS+ server application installed and configured on one or more servers or manage-
ment stations in your network. (There are several TACACS+ software packages available.)
■ A switch configured for TACACS+ authentication, with access to one or more TACACS+
servers.
Note
The Series 2500 switches include the capability of configuring multiple backup TACACS+ servers.
HP recommends that you use a TACACS+ server application that supports a redundant backup
installation. This allows you to configure the switch to use a backup TACACS+ server if it loses access
to the first-choice TACACS+ server.
