Chapter 37: TACACS+ and RADIUS Commands

SET AUTHENTICATION
Syntax
set authentication method=tacacs|radius [secret= string ]
[timeout= value ]
Parameters
method Specifies which authenticator protocol, TACACS+ or
RADIUS, is to be the active protocol on the switch.
secret Specifies the global encryption key of the TACACS+
or RADIUS servers. If the servers use different
encryption keys, you can leave this parameter blank
and set individual encryption keys with “ADD
TACACSSERVER” on page 628 or “ADD
RADIUSSERVER” on page 626. To remove a
previously assigned global key without specifying a
new value, enter the string as “none”. The maximum
length is 39 characters.
timeout Specifies the maximum amount of time the switch
waits for a response from an authentication server
before the switch assumes the server will not
respond. If the timeout expires and the server has not
responded, the switch queries the next server in the
list. After the switch has exhausted the list of servers,
the switch defaults to the standard Manager and
Operator accounts. The default is 30 seconds. The
range is 1 to 300 seconds.
Description
This command selects the authentication protocol. One authentication
protocol can be active on the switch at a time. You may specify a global
encryption code and the maximum number of seconds the switch waits for
a response from an authenticator server.
Examples
The following command selects TACACS+ as the authentication protocol
on the switch:
set authentication method=tacacs
The following command selects TACACS+ as the authentication protocol
and specifies a global encryption key of tiger54:
set authentication method=tacacs secret=tiger54
