TACACS userid for config backup

[Warren]

Good day;

Not sure if this has been discussed already or I am not searching correctly as I do not see one.

I have a quick question we are in the process of putting together a script to connect to the

network equipment and the person writing the script is asking for a userid to he can use

to log into each device to pull down the config.  This is the first time I am going to be doing

this but is it as easy as creating a username in TACACS with an assiciated password

and I can give it to the Linux admin to write his scripted?

Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Warren,

Yes, It can be done.

Options are,

1. If your device are integrated with ISE Tacacs+ Solution - Create a local user id and password and allow only read-only access.

2. AD service account can be created and map to read only policy in Device Autz.

both should work. 

Rate if it helps

hmm is there a place I can read this I think I am doing something wrong

Device Administration (TACACS+) has general info on T+.

And, Add Users shows how to add an internal user.
