Configuring RADIUS and TACACS+ Servers
This chapter describes how to enable and configure the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) and Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+), that provides
detailed accounting information and flexible administrative control over authentication and
authorization processes. RADIUS and TACACS+ are facilitated through AAA and can be enabled only
through AAA commands.
Note You can configure your access point as a local authenticator to provide a backup for your main server or
to provide authentication service on a network without a RADIUS server. See Chapter 11, “Configuring
Authentication Types,” for detailed instructions on configuring your access point as a local authenticator.
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, refer to the Cisco IOS
Security Command Reference for Release 12.2.
