TACACS+ Remote Authentication and Authorization
The system takes the access class from the TACACS+ server. Access class is the class of service that
restricts Telnet access and packet sizes.
If you have configured remote authorization, the system ignores the access class you have configured for
the VTY line and gets this access class information from the TACACS+ server. The system must know the
username and password of the incoming user before it can fetch the access class from the server. A user,
therefore, at least sees the login prompt. If the access class denies the connection, the system closes the
Telnet session immediately.
The following example demonstrates how to configure the access-class from a TACACS+ server. This
configuration ignores the configured access-class on the VTY line. If you have configured a deny10 ACL
on the TACACS+ server, the system downloads it and applies it. If the user is found to be coming from
the 10.0.0.0 subnet, the system also immediately closes the Telnet connection. Note, that no matter
where the user is coming from, they see the login prompt.
When configuring a TACACS+ server host, you can set different communication parameters, such as the
key password.
