User Guidelines
To specify multiple hosts, multiple tacacs-server host commands can be used.
TACACS servers are keyed by the host name, therefore it is advisable to use
unique host names.
Example
The following example specifies a host.
console(config)#tacacs-server host 172.16.1.1
console(config-tacacs)#
tacacs-server key
Use the tacacs-server key command in Global Configuration mode to set the
authentication and encryption key for all communications
between the switch and the daemon. To disable the key, use the
no form of this command.
