Section III: Security Features

Note

This manual does not explain how to configure TACACS+ or RADIUS
server software. For server configuration, refer to the
documentation that came with the software.

By default, authentication protocol is disabled on an AT-8400 Series
switch. Once you activate it, you need to provide the following
information:

❑ Which authentication protocol you want to use. Only one

authentication protocol can be active on a switch at a time.

❑ IP addresses of up to three authentication servers.

❑ The encryption key used by the authentication servers.

Note

For more information on TACACS+, refer to the RFC 1492 standard.
For more information on RADIUS, refer to the IEEE draft for the
TACACS+ Protocol, Version 1.78.
