5-48
Configuration
• Secret Word: Defines the shared TACACS Secret Word for both TACACS servers.
(Default = undefined.)
• Fallback Timer: Determines how long the RSM will continue to attempt to contact
the primary TACACS Server before falling back to the secondary TACACS Server.
(Default = 3 Seconds.)
• Fallback Local: Determines whether or not the RSM will fallback to its own
password/username directory when an authentication attempt fails. When enabled,
the RSM will first attempt to authenticate the password by checking the TACACS
Server; if this fails, the RSM will then attempt to authenticate the password by
checking its own internal username directory. (Default = Off.)
• Authentication Port: The port number for the TACACS function. (Default = 49.)
