Newbie question on TACACS server access

news2010a
Level 3
Level 3

I worked before on TACACS servers running on Windows but not on Unix. I am new to an environment without any documentation and I need to make sure I have access to the TACACS/ACS config.

I go to my switch config and I see that 'tacacs-server 10.0.0.1'.

Then I ssh into '10.0.0.1' and I see the below after doing 'ls'.

From the below, do you have any idea on how I access the ACS configuration in case I need to alter any parameter there? I tried http://10.0.0.1 but that does not work.

-bash-3.00$ ls
bin         devices     kernel      net         sbin        TT_DB
boot        etc         lib         opt         system      usr
cdrom       export      lost+found  platform    tftpboot    var
dev         home        mnt         proc        tmp         vol-bash-3.00$ ls
bin         devices     kernel      net         sbin        TT_DB
boot        etc         lib         opt         system      usr
cdrom       export      lost+found  platform    tftpboot    var
dev         home        mnt         proc        tmp         vol

Try http://10.0.0.1:2002 because ACS listens on port 2002 by default.

It turned out this is not even ACS.

A previous admin installed whatever open source or hacked system he found and used as TACACS.

Thanks folks.
