You can configure TACACS+ servers for use by a server group. The Security > Server Groups > TACACS page
displays current TACACS servers available for inclusion in server groups. Select Add to create a new RADIUS
server, or click the pencil icon next to an existing TACACS server to edit the configuration.
The Security > Server Groups > Add New TACACS Server page contains the following fields, as described in
Table 75:
NAS ID Set the Network Access Server (NAS) identifier to use in RADIUS packets.
NAS IP Set the NAS IP address to send in RADIUS packets.
You can configure a “global” NAS IP address that the controller uses for
communications with all RADIUS servers. If you do not configure a server-specific
NAS IP, the global NAS IP is used.
Use MD5 No Enable or disable the use of MD5 hashing for cleartext passwords.
Enable Yes Enable or disable the RADIUS server.
Source Interface Enter a VLAN number ID between 1-4094.
Allows you to use source IP addresses to differentiate RADIUS requests.
Associates a VLAN interface with the RADIUS server to allow the server-specific
source interface to override the global configuration.
If you associate a Source Interface (by entering a VLAN number) with a configured
server, then the source IP address of the packet will be that interface’s IP address.
If you do not associate the Source Interface with a configured server (leave the
field blank), the IP address of the global Source Interface will be used. Requires a
minimum version of 6.1.0.0.
