CSACS Documentation ?Where Is It?

[mrashby]

Hey all,

I just need someone to point me in the direction of finding some documentation on configuring my router to use my ACS server. I have the server loaded and ready but I am a little leary about configuring my routers without some documentation handy to guage myself. Any first hand advice is welcomed also. Thanks.

The ACS documentation is here:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacs4nt/index.htm

but this is limited when it comes to specifics about router configuration, simply because there's potentially 1000's of different types of NAS's out there and it would be impossible to detail all of them. ACS has been specifically designed not just for Cisco devices but for literally anything that runs Radius/TACACS.

For router configuration details, check the router doco here:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fsecur_c/fsaaa/index.htm

Hope that helps. I would recommend you start off very slow and just configure authentication for logins, which is as basic as:

aaa new-model

aaa authentication login default group radius

radius-server host x.x.x.x key cisco123

Then on ACS add the router in under Network Configuration, and add the user in under User Configuration.

Start adding on from there once you get that working properly.
