Setting the TACACS+ server address:
The Set TACACS Host command sets the IP address or hostname of the TACACS+ server.
NOTE: Both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted for IP address or hostname.
To set the TACACS+ server address:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set tacacs, followed by host1 or host2 and the TACACS+ server’s IP address or
hostname. Press Enter.
Examples
The following command sets the primary TACACS+ server address to 98.76.54.32:
Switched CDU: set tacacs host1 98.76.54.32
The following command sets the secondary TACACS+ server hostname to tacacs.servertech.com:
Switched CDU: set tacacs host2 tacacs.servertech.com
Setting the TACACS+ encryption key:
The Set TACACS Key command sets the encryption key used to encrypt all data packets between the PDU and the
TACACS+ server. This key must match the key configured on the TACACS+ server.
To set the encryption key:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set tacacs key and press Enter.
At the TACACS+ Key: prompt, type an encryption key of up to 60 alphanumeric and other typed characters - (ASCII
33 to 126 decimal) are allowed; encryption keys are case sensitive. Press Enter. To specify no password, press Enter.
At the Verify TACACS+ Key: prompt, retype the key. Press Enter. To verify no password, press Enter at the
prompt.
Example
Switched CDU: set tacacs key
TACACS+ Key:
Verify TACACS+ Key:
For security, key characters are not displayed.
NOTE: A key size of zero results in no encryption being applied; this may not be supported by the TACACS+ server, and is not
recommended for a production environment.
Changing the TACACS port:
With TACACS support enabled, the PDU sends TACACS requests to the default TACACS port number 49. This port number
may be changed using the Set TACACS Port command.
To change the TACACS port:
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type set tacacs port, followed by the port number and press Enter.
Example
The following changes the TACACS port number to 50:
Switched CDU: set tacacs port 50
