• Congure the timeout period used to wait for an authentication response from a RADIUS server in CONFIGURATION mode (0 to 1000
seconds; default 5).

TACACS+ authentication
Congure a TACACS+ authentication server by entering the server's IP address or host name. You must also enter a text string for the key
used to authenticate the OS10 switch on a TACACS+ host. The TCP port entry is optional.
TACACS+ provides greater data security by encrypting the entire protocol portion in a packet sent from the switch to an authentication
server. RADIUS encrypts only passwords.
• Congure a TACACS+ authentication server in CONFIGURATION mode. By default, a TACACS+ server uses TCP port 49 for
authentication.
tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address} key authentication-key [auth-port port-number]
Re-enter the tacacs-server host command multiple times to congure more than one TACACS+ server. If you congure multiple
TACACS+ servers, OS10 attempts to connect in the order you congured them. An OS10 switch connects with the congured TACACS+
servers one at a time, until a RADIUS server responds with an accept or reject response.
Congure the global timeout used on all TACACS+ servers by using the tacacs-server timeout command. By default, OS10 times
out an authentication attempt on a TACACS+ server after ve seconds.
• Enter the timeout value used to wait for an authentication response from TACACS+ servers in CONFIGURATION mode (1 to 1000
seconds; default 5).
