Configuring TACACS+
TACACS+ provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency 
with RADIUS and other authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services:

Authentication: Provides authentication during login and via user names and

The TACACS+ protocol ensures network security through encrypted protocol exchanges 
between the device and TACACS+ server.
