TACACS+ Client
Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) is a logon authentication protocol that
uses software running on a central server to control access to TACACS-aware devices on the
network. An authentication server contains a database of multiple user name/password pairs with
associated privilege levels for each user or group that require management access to a switch.
