Verify if tacacs is configured

TACACS+ is a security application that provides centralized validation of users attempting to gain access to a router or network access server. Below example helps in validating tacacs configuration using NetYCE Compliance module

campus01-b02-access01 and campus01-b02-access02 are the two reference devices which we are using for this example. One has tacacs configuration and other does not.

Below are the steps to create new policy. Operate → Compliance → Policies → New→

Click on the Node Group to select the relevant group of devices to add. Node group named “building2_access” holds the nodes of both the nodes:

Rule → New

Below is how to create reports to see the results of the compliance policies.

Operate → Compliance → Reports → New → Report Name “test” → Report type “Policies” → Policy Name “Sample5 : TACACS Configuration” → Show Report

This was a simple example to understand how to implement compliance policy to verify tacacs configuration.
