3 Performing device-related configuration
A "device", in the context of this information, refers to a network device that users log in to manage. A
device can cooperate with TAM to implement TACACS+ authentication and authorization only when the
device is added to TAM.
Device in TAM is an element in an authorization scenario. Adding devices is a must to configure an
authorization scenario. For more information about authorization scenarios, see "Authorization
scenarios."
Different devices might use different command sets. After adding a device, configure a command set for
the device. For more information about authorization command set, see "Authorization command."
