AAA Server Configuration
•
Traffic Type—The Traffic Type list defines the direction in which traffic to
and from the remote AAA server is permitted to flow from this
Cisco Secure ACS. The list includes the following options:
–
Inbound—The remote AAA server accepts requests that have been
forwarded to it and does not forward the request to another AAA server.
Select this option if you do not want to permit any authentication requests
to be forwarded from the remote AAA server.
–
Outbound—The remote AAA server sends out authentication requests
but does not receive them. If a Proxy Distribution Table entry is
configured to proxy authentication requests to a AAA server that is
configured for Outbound, the authentication request is not sent.
–
Inbound/Outbound—The remote AAA server forwards and accepts
authentication requests. This allows the selected server to handle
authentication requests in any manner defined in the distribution tables.
