TACACS+ Security

The Terminal Access Controller Access Control System protocol TACACS+ defines how authentication, authorization, and accounting information is sent between a RUCKUS device and an authentication database on a TACACS+ server. TACACS+ services are maintained in a database, typically on a UNIX workstation or PC with a TACACS+ server running.

You can use the TACACS+ protocol to authenticate the following kinds of access to the RUCKUS device:

  • Telnet access
  • SSH access
  • Console access
  • Web management access
  • Access to the Privileged EXEC level and CONFIG levels of the CLI
