Configuring Global Preshared Keys
You can configure preshared keys at the global level for all servers used by the Cisco Nexus device. A preshared
key is a shared secret text string between the Cisco Nexus device and the server hosts.
Before you configure preshared keys, you should do the following:
•
Enable .
•
Obtain the preshared key values for the remote servers.
Procedure
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
switch#
configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies a key for all server. You can
specify that the
key-value
is in clear text format (

tacacs-server key
[

7
]
key-value
Step 2
encrypted (
6
), or is type-7 encrypted (
7
). The Cisco NX-OS
Example:
switch(config)#
tacacs-server
key 0 QsEfThUkO
software encrypts a clear text key before saving it to the
running configuration. The default format is clear text. The
maximum length is 63 characters.
Example:
switch(config)#
tacacs-server
key 7 "fewhg
”
By default, no secret key is configured.
If you already configured a shared secret using the
generate type7_encrypted_secret
command, enter
it in quotation marks, as shown in the second example.
Note
Exits configuration mode.
switch(config)#
exit
Step 3
(Optional)
Displays the server configuration.
switch#
show tacacs-server
Step 4
The preshared keys are saved in encrypted form in
the running configuration. Use the
show
running-config
command to display the encrypted
preshared keys.
Note
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
switch#
copy running-config
startup-config
Step 5
The following example shows how to configure global preshared keys:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
tacacs-server key 0 QsEfThUkO
switch(config)#
exit
switch#
show tacacs-server
switch#
copy running-config startup-config
