Default Configuration
and AAA are disabled by default.
To prevent a lapse in security, you cannot configure through a network management
application. When enabled, can authenticate administrators accessing the bridge through the
CLI.
Identifying the Server Host and Setting the Authentication Key
You can configure the bridge to use a single server or AAA server groups to group existing server hosts
for authentication. You can group servers to select a subset of the configured server hosts and use them
for a particular service. The server group is used with a global server-host list and contains the list of IP
addresses of the selected server hosts.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to identify the IP host or host maintaining
server and optionally set the encryption key:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
tacacs-server host
hostname
[
port
integer
] [
timeout
integer
] [
key
string
]
Identify the IP host or hosts maintaining a server. Enter this
command multiple times to create a list of preferred hosts. The software
searches for hosts in the order in which you specify them.
•
For
hostname
, specify the name or IP address of the host.
•
(Optional) For
port
integer
, specify a server port number. The default
is port 49. The range is 1 to 65535.
•
(Optional) For
timeout
integer
, specify a time in seconds the bridge
waits for a response from the daemon before it times out and declares
an error. The default is 5 seconds. The range is 1 to 1000 seconds.
•
(Optional) For
key
string
, specify the encryption key for encrypting
and decrypting all traffic between the bridge and the
daemon. You must configure the same key on the daemon
for encryption to be successful.
Step 3
aaa new-model
Enable AAA.
Step 4
aaa group server
group-name
(Optional) Define the AAA server-group with a group name.
This command puts the bridge in a server group subconfiguration mode.
