HP Moonshot Switch Module CLI Command Reference
tacacs-server source-interface
Use this command in Global Configuration mode to configure the source interface (Source IP address) for
TACACS+ server configuration. The selected source-interface IP address is used for filling the IP header of
management protocol packets. This allows security devices (firewalls) to identify the source packets coming
from the specific switch.
If a source-interface is not specified, the primary IP address of the originating (outbound) interface is used as
the source address.
Example: The following shows an example of the command.
(Config)#tacacs-server source-interface loopback 0
(Config)#tacacs-server source-interface 1/0/1
(Config)#no tacacs-server source-interface
no tacacs-server source-interface
Use this command in Global Configuration mode to remove the global source interface (Source IP selection)
for all TACACS+ communications between the TACACS+ client and the server.
tacacs-server timeout
Use the tacacs-server timeout command to set the global timeout value for communication with the TACACS+
servers. The
timeout parameter has a range of 1-30 and is the timeout value in seconds. If you do not specify
a timeout value, the command sets the global timeout to the default value. TACACS+ servers that do not use
the global timeout will retain their configured timeout values.
