Kind of a funny situation I came across. I needed to take down the WAN circuit which terminates directly on one of my Fabric switches so I consoled in and logged in using my personal credentials which rely on TAC+ for proper access. After I shut the port facing the WAN the TACACS servers became unreachable (clearly) and I was unable to no shut the port or do anything frankly. I kept getting that I wasn’t authorized to run the commands.
Shouldn’t VOSS fail back to local if the TAC+ servers become unreachable ? What happens if I logged in previously, then they become unreachable, do I just wait for a timeout and then login with local credentials?
