Hi,
I have been reading through the following tacacs configuration guide;
Example configuration is provided as follows;
tacacs-server key 7 "ToIkLhPpG"
tacacs-server host 10.10.2.2 key 7 "ShMoMhTl"
I'm having a bit of trouble with this. According to the document, key ( 7 ) indicates an encrypted key will follow but the preshared key supplied looks to be plain text. Its also "quoted" but I did not think quotes were escape characters and in this example would form part of the string?
Should this not read;
tacacs-server key 0 ToIkLhPpG
tacacs-server host 10.10.2.2 key 0 ShMoMhTl
Or am I missing something?
Thanks
Ben

Hi ngkin2010
OK thanks for the confirmation. Mixed up IOS and NXOS. I understand NXOS uses AES to encrypt the key?
Cheers
