Command
Description

tacacs-server key

Designates the global key shared between the Cisco Nexus 1000V and the TACACS+ server hosts.

tacacs-server host

Designates the key shared between the Cisco Nexus 1000V and this specific TACACS+ server host.

show tacacs-server

Displays the TACACS+ server configuration.


tacacs-server deadtime

To set a periodic time interval where a nonreachable (nonresponsive) TACACS+ server is monitored for responsiveness, use the tacacs-server deadtime command. To disable the monitoring of the nonresponsive TACACS+ server, use the no form of this command.

tacacs-server deadtime minutes

no tacacs-server deadtime minutes

Syntax Description

time

Time interval in minutes. The range is from 1 to 1440.


Defaults

0 minutes

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Supported User Roles

network-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0(4)SP1(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Setting the time interval to zero disables the timer. If the dead-time interval for an individual TACACS+ server is greater than zero (0), that value takes precedence over the value set for the server group.

When the dead-time interval is 0 minutes, TACACS+ server monitoring is not performed unless the TACACS+ server is part of a server group and the dead-time interval for the group is greater than 0 minutes.

In global configuration mode, you must first enable the TACACS+ feature, using the tacacs+ enable command, before you can use any of the other TACACS+ commands to configure the feature.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the dead-time interval and enable periodic monitoring:

n1010# config terminal
n1010(config)# tacacs-server deadtime 10

This example shows how to revert to the default dead-time interval and disable periodic monitoring:

n1010# config terminal
n1010(config)# no tacacs-server deadtime 10

tacacs-server directed-request

To allow users to send authentication requests to a specific TACACS+ server when logging in, use the tacacs-server directed request command. To revert to the default, use the no form of this command.

tacacs-server directed-request

no tacacs-server directed-request

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Disabled

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Supported User Roles

Modification

4.0(4)SP1(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

In global configuration mode, you must first enable the TACACS+ feature, using the tacacs+ enable command, before you can use any of the other TACACS+ commands to configure the feature.

The user can specify the username@vrfname:hostname during login, where vrfname is the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) name to use and hostname is the name of a configured TACACS+ server. The username is sent to the server name for authentication.

Examples

This example shows how to allow users to send authentication requests to a specific TACACS+ server when logging in:

n1010# config t
n1010(config)# tacacs-server directed-request

This example shows how to disallow users to send authentication requests to a specific TACACS+ server when logging in:

n1010# config t
n1010(config)# no tacacs-server directed-request
