Hello,

We got demo Extreme network switch to our company for trying it. Actually we have all Cİsco switch and we manage them but we want to try extreme network switch.

We worked commands of Tacacs by demo extreme switch and i logged in with my username and password. But i cannot do nothing in the switch, i just readonly it. why ?

And you can see below about CİSCO command and EXTREME command. What's the different please help me about that ?
.
CİSCO:

tacacs-server host X.X.X.X key yyyy
tacacs-server host X.X.X.X key yyyy
tacacs-server directed-request

aaa new model
aaa authentication login use-tacacs group tacacs+ local enable
aaa authentication enable default group tacacs+ enable
aaa authorization exec use-tacacs group tacacs+ local
aaa accounting commands 0 default start-stop group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group tacacs+
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group tacacs+

EXTREME:

configure tacacs primary server X.X.X.X client-ip Z.Z.Z.Z vr "VR-Default"
configure tacacs primary shared-secret yyyy
configure tacacs secondary server T.T.T.T client-ip Z.Z.Z.Z vr "VR-Default"
configure tacacs secondary shared-secret yyyy
enable tacacs

configure tacacs-accounting primary server X.X.X.X client-ip Z.Z.Z.Z vr "VR-Default"
configure tacacs-accounting primary shared-secret yyyy
configure tacacs-accounting secondary server T.T.T.T client-ip Z.Z.Z.Z vr "VR-Default"
configure tacacs-accounting secondary shared-secret yyyy
enable tacacs-accounting

Thanks for your support

Hi Frank,

I am using the open tacacs+ implementation (tac_plus) too. I configured it as you showed within this thread but unfortunately it is not working for our Extreme switches running EXOS, they are always logging with user/exec level instead of admin/privileged level. Do you have any hint for me how to debug/solve this?
