TACACS or RADIUS

[Michael Klose]

I want to use a central server to manage my login accounts to my switches !

At the moment I test a Cistron Radius Server but I don't know how to differ between manager and operators !

I hope someone can help me !!

What products do you use ?
Maybe someone can post a running config !!

from the CLI:

radius-server host alcatraz non-standard
radius-server key myRaDiUSpassWoRd
username root password ALongPassword
aaa authentication radius local
aaa authorization network radius local
aaa accounting network start-stop radius
aaa authentication login admins local
aaa authorization exec local


You have a lot of examples in cisco web page. Config is the same

Good Luck!
