Operation Manual

In TACACS+ and RADIUS modes, if the servers cannot be reached, either because the WAN is down or a response is
not received within the selected Server Timeout, the router will automatically fall back to using Local Users mode to
prevent any potential of being locked out.
TACACS+
TACACS+ stands for “Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System plus”. The router will use a TACACS+ server
(or two, optionally) to authorize administration.
Server Timeout – If the servers are not reached within the set time (possibly because the WAN is down), the router
will automatically fall back to using Local Users mode to prevent users from being locked out.
Authentication Service – Choose from:
ASCII / Login
PAP
CHAP
Server Address – This can be either an IP address in the form of "1.2.3.4", or a DNS name in form of
"host.domain.com". Only lower case letters are allowed for a DNS name.
Port – Port 49 is default for TACACS+.
Shared Secret
RADIUS
RADIUS stands for “Remote Authentication Dial In User Service”. The router will use a RADIUS server (or two,
optionally) to authorize administration.
