Authentication Server Host
This window will set user-defined
Authentication Server Hosts
for the TACACS / XTACACS / TACACS+ / RADIUS
security protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with Authentication Policy enabled, the
Switch will send authentication packets to a remote TACACS / XTACACS / TACACS+ / RADIUS server host on a
remote host. The TACACS / XTACACS / TACACS+ / RADIUS server host will then verify or deny the request and return
the appropriate message to the Switch. More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server host
but, remember that TACACS / XTACACS / TACACS+ / RADIUS are separate entities and are not compatible with each
other. The maximum supported number of server hosts is 16.
