Example of a Failed Authentication
To view the configuration, use the show config in LINE mode or the show running-config tacacs
+ command in EXEC Privilege mode.
If authentication fails using the primary method, the system employs the second method (or third
method, if necessary) automatically. For example, if the TACACS+ server is reachable, but the server key is
invalid, the system proceeds to the next authentication method. In the following example, the TACACS+
is incorrect, but the user is still authenticated by the secondary method.
First bold line: Server key purposely changed to incorrect value.
Second bold line: User authenticated using the secondary method.
