Configuring SSR Access Security

This section describes the following methods of controlling access to the SSR:

RADIUS

TACACS

TACACS Plus

Configuring RADIUS

You can secure login or Enable mode access to the SSR by enabling a Remote
Authentication Dial-In Service (RADIUS) client. A RADIUS server responds to the SSR
RADIUS client to provide authentication.

You can configure up to five RADIUS server targets on the SSR. A timeout is set to tell the
SSR how long to wait for a response from RADIUS servers.

To configure RADIUS security, enter the following commands in Configure mode:

Specify a RADIUS server.

radius set server

Set the RADIUS time to wait for a
RADIUS server reply.

radius set timeout

Determine the SSR action if no
server responds.

radius set last-resort password|succeed

user login or when user tries to
