Hello...        Recently we decided for some reasons to shut/no shut a specific ports on 2960 and 3560 switches in a regular basis, so I decided to create a Macro with the specific commands on the specific interfaces and I tested it manually working well. Then I have decided to subject it to Kron policy and schedule to call the Macro on a specific time of the day. unfortunately, Show kron sche tell it has been executed but actually its not. which is obvious from the logs. attached the configs of the Kron job and the Macro... --------------- macro name RestartAPs int gig 1/0/23 shutdown no shutdown @ --------------- kron occurrence RestartAPs_Sch at 10:55 recurring  policy-list RestartAPs kron policy-list RestartAPs  cli macro global apply RestartAPs -------------------- kindly what's wrong or whats missing to achieve the execution on the macro on a schedule.

Hello Bros',               I have recently installed the free tacacs server called tacgui. for who never heard of it, it's a tacacs, Linux based with gui to control my devices as we can't afford Cisco ACS or any similar from Cisco. the issue is, when we start stating the command lists that is accepted or not accepted, i MUST include all commands with either accepted or not which is very difficult. Is there any way that help me to add my accepted commands and means ANY OTHER commands are not included will not be authorized by the tacacs server "tacgui". I have been long time trying to accomplish it but no results, i must include all possible commands with either accepted or rejected. any ideas? TIA   ... View more

Hello,        Days ago I posted a discussion about the need for free TACACS+ system and thanks for the community I reached to tacgui tacacs server, free linux based, not bad but: If any one had an eye on this tacgui, it's working but I have cases that can't apply it to the tacgui. I could add any command and authorize it, but I have many many many other commands that may be entered by the support who i need to authenticated and the important now to authorize. Do i have to add every possible command in the config mode (Starting from the very first possible command aaa Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. access-list...ending by vtp Configure global VTP state wsma Configure Web Services Management Agents) which is not logical. there must be away to make default block or permit. the good news that this tacgui can accept the manual codes entered. how to accomplish this default deny any not added to authorization command? whether from the tacgui or the manual method. if any guy recommend any other tested free tacac server, i would be happy to know about it.   TIA all participants :) ...
