1.5.5 Configuring Shared Keys for RADIUS Packets
When using a TACACS server as an AAA server, you can set a key to improve the
communication security between the router and the TACACS server.
The TACACS client and server adopt MD5 algorithm to encrypt the exchanged
HWTACACS packets. The two parties verify the validity of the exchanged packets by
using the shared keys that have been set on them, and can accept and respond to the
packets sent from each other only if both of them have the same shared keys.
