SET AUTHENTICATION
Syntax
set authentication method=[tacacs|radius]
[secret=string] [timeout=integer]
Parameter
method Specify either the TACACS+ or RADIUS protocol to
run on your switch.
secret Specify the global encryption key that is used for all
of your TACACS+ or RADIUS servers. If the servers
use different encryption keys, you can leave this
parameter blank and set individual encryption keys
with the ADD TACACSSERVER or ADD
RADIUSSERVER commands.
timeout Specifies the maximum amount of time the switch
waits for a response from either the TACACS+ or
RADIUS server before the switch assumes the server
cannot respond. If the timeout expires and the
server has not responded, the switch queries the
next server in the list. Once the switch has exhausted
the list of servers or if there isn’t a 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
Use this command to select the authentication protocol. You may
specify a global encryption code and the maximum number of seconds
the switch waits for a response from either the TACACS+ or RADIUS
server.
Examples
The following command selects TACACS+ as the authentication
protocol on your switch:
set authentication method=tacacs
The following command selects TACACS+ as the authentication
protocol with a global encryption key of tiger54:
set authentication method=tacacs secret=tiger54
