Parameters

Usage Guidelines

The tacacs-server key command is used to encrypt TACACS+ packets before they are sent over the network.

The tacacs-server key command applies only to TACACS+ servers, not to TACACS servers. If you are configuring TACACS, do not configure a key on the TACACS server and do not enter a key on the Ruckus device.

The no form of the command removes the TACACS+ server key configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a TACACS+ server key. 

device#configure terminal
device(config)# tacacs-server key abc
