Does ONS 15454 SDH supports TACACS+ ?

[Thangaraj Shanmugavel]

Hi,

We are currently managing 16 ONS nodes in our customer environment and we need to implement AAA using TACACS+ to those ONS chasis.

We are currently using default Superuser account, and we could only find support document related to RADIUS but not for TACACS+.

Does anyone have implemented authendication on ONS15454 SDH with TACACS+ and do let me know how to implement it ? If not, does we have any Cisco document to clarify why it is not supported ?

Thanga,

AAA is not supported but RADIUS is.  Use DLP-A456 (Configure the Node for TADIUS Authentication) to set up the ONS 15454 to use Radius.  It is in the Procedure Guide for the ONS 15454.

If you have any problems please call 800-553-2447 to open a TAC case.
