Authentication
Terminology Used in TACACS Applications:
server for authentication services. If the switch fails to connect to
any server, it defaults to its own locally assigned passwords for
authentication control if it has been configured to do so. For both Console
and Telnet access you can configure a login (read-only) and an enable (read/
write) privilege level access.

Terminology Used in TACACS
Applications:
■
NAS (Network Access Server):
This is an industry term for a
TACACS-aware device that communicates with a TACACS server for
authentication services. Some other terms you may see in literature
describing TACACS operation are
communication server
,
remote
access server
, or
terminal server
. These terms apply to a switch when
is enabled on the switch (that is, when the switch is
TACACS-aware).
■
Server:
The server or management station configured as
an access control server for TACACS-enabled devices. To use
with a switch covered in this guide and any other TACACS-
capable devices in your network, you must purchase, install, and
configure a server application on a networked server or
management station in the network. The server application
you install will provide various options for access control and access
notifications. For more on the services available to you,
see the documentation provided with the server applica
tion you will use.
■
Authentication:
The process for granting user access to a device
through entry of a user name and password and comparison of this
username/password pair with previously stored username/password
data. Authentication also grants levels of access, depending on the
privileges assigned to a user name and password pair by a system
administrator.
•
Local Authentication:
This method uses username/password
pairs configured locally on the switch; one pair each for manager-
level and operator-level access to the switch. You can assign local
usernames and passwords through the CLI or web browser inter-
