Authentication
Configuring on the Switch
Configuring the Switch’s Server Access
The tacacs-server command configures these parameters:
■
The host IP address(es)
for up to three servers; one first-
choice and up to two backups. Designating backup servers provides for
a continuation of authentication services in case the switch is unable to
contact the first-choice server.
■
An optional encryption key.
This key helps to improve security, and
must match the encryption key used in your server application.
In some applications, the term “secret key” or “secret” may be used instead
of “encryption key”. If you need only one encryption key for the switch to
use in all attempts to authenticate through a server, configure
a global key. However, if the switch is configured to access multiple
servers having different encryption keys, you can configure the
switch to use different encryption keys for different servers.
■
The timeout value
in seconds for attempts to contact a server.
If the switch sends an authentication request, but does not receive a
response within the period specified by the timeout value, the switch
resends the request to the next server in its Server IP Addr list, if any. If
the switch still fails to receive a response from any server, it
reverts to whatever secondary authentication method was configured
using the
aaa authentication
command (local or none; see “Configuring the
Switch’s Authentication Methods” on page 4-11.)
Note
As described under “General Authentication Setup Procedure” on page 4-5,
ProCurve recommends that you configure, test, and troubleshoot authentica
tion via Telnet access before you configure authentication via console port
access. This helps to prevent accidentally locking yourself out of switch
access due to errors or problems in setting up authentication in either the
switch or your server.
Syntax:
tacacs-server host <
ip-addr
>
[
key <
key-string
>]
Adds a server and optionally assigns a server-
specific encryption key.
[no] tacacs-server host <
ip-addr
>
Removes a server assignment (including its
server-specific encryption key, if any).
