xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual Authentication Server Group This window will allow users to set up Authentication Server Groups on the Switch. A server group is a technique used to group TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS server hosts into user-defined categories for authentication using method lists. The user may define the type of server group by protocol or by previously defined server group. The Switch has three built-in Authentication Server Groups that cannot be removed but can be modified. Up to eight authentication server hosts may be added to any particular group. To view the following window, click Security Management > Access Authentication Control > Authentication Server Group: Figure 7- 11. Authentication Server Group window This screen displays the Authentication Server Groups on the Switch. The Switch has four built-in Authentication Server Groups that cannot be removed but can be modified. To modify a particular group, click its hyperlinked Group Name, which will then display the following window. Figure 7- 12. Add a Server Host to Server Group (XTACACS) window. To add an Authentication Server Host to the list, enter its IP address in the IP Address field, choose the protocol associated with the IP address of the Authentication Server Host and click Add to add this Authentication Server Host to the group. To add a server group other than the ones listed, click the add button, revealing the following window to configure. Figure 7- 13. Authentication Server Group Table Add Settings window Enter a group name of up to 15 characters into the Group Name field and click Apply. The entry should appear in the Authentication Server Group Settings window, as shown in Figure 8-12 (Trinity). NOTE: The user must configure Authentication Server Hosts using the Authentication Server Hosts window before adding hosts to the list. Authentication Server Hosts must be configured for their specific protocol on a remote centralized server before this function can work properly. NOTE: The three built in server groups can only have server hosts running the same TACACS daemon. TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ protocols are separate entities and are not compatible with each other. 194
