AAA framework: TACACS+ vs RADIUS

TACACS stands for Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System. Plus sign means a newer and updated version of TACACS. Like RADIUS, TACACS+ also uses AAA framework to provide centralized access into a network.
RADIUS was designed to authenticate and log remote network users, while TACACS+ is used for administrator access to network devices like routers and switches.
TACACS+ servers should be deployed in a fully trusted internal network. No direct access should be allowed from untrusted or semi-trusted networks.
Keywords: AAA, Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting, RADIUS, Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, Access server, remote access control, TACACS+, Terminal Access Controller Access Control System plus,

12 Dislikes? These 12 people are those ungrateful ones who can't appreciate how brilliant Sunny is. Thanks again Mr. Sunny for these quality lectures.

[@Sid629]

Sunny is the man! i don't know why courses try to complicate content/fundamentals when they could be easily explained!? Teaching is quite an art form - thank you professor Sunny!

[@arisgreek8697]

Important difference that is not mentioned: TACACS uses different messages for Authentication and Authorization contrary to RADIUS which combines them. This permits TACACS to authorize a user specific authorizations (per command).

[@QURAN_010]

I read difference between RADUIS and TACACS+ : "RADIUS combines user authentication and authorization into one profile, but TACACS+ separates the two" .I really dont get it well, i thought k he means the Info stored and database about authentication and authorization stored separately. is it ?

[@loveLJ91]

Thank you! Once again, this video has made a huge difference for me. The chart at the end comparing TACACS+ and RADIUS was particularly helpful.

[@abelmothusi6201]

By far the best explanation i have come across, very simplified and straight to the point. Thanks Sunny!

[@sunnyclassroom24]

You are welcome!

[@franklinomoaghe1422]

Wow. This guy is a true teacher. Thank you Sunny. You make it so easy to understand.

[@katiekearney6923]

thank you for this! very straight forward explanation. The comparison table was very helpful.

[@Amdamguy]

Very helpful... I like the way you keep it simple... thank you Sunny

[@willardmakinishi6980]

Thank you so much for this tutorial Prof Sunny. I have benefited but my main area of interest was how to configure each one of them individually (Authentication, Authorization and Accountability) in the command line. If you can help on those step by step configs I will be more than grateful. You have really helped me in many areas of my study.

[@sureshpoun9101]

Thank you Sunny, Nicely explained. Simple to understand and very clear.

[@brolysmash9333]

Excellent work Sunny... Quick question for you, so that means If I have VPN users and I have to manage TACAS+ by using ISE for instance, do I need to configure both favors... Meaning, Radius for my VPN users and TACAS+ for device administration. Keep the good work dude, you're one of the best online trainers. :)

If I do not make a mistake TACACS+ is Cisco proprietary. Thanks for the video.

[@sunnyclassroom24]

You are correct.

[@srujankumar5020]

Tacplus application is used as TACACS, it’s open source

Excelente and Simple Explanation. Thank you very much. I already subscribed to your channel. I need to pass an A+ exam, 100-1002. If you could give me some advice about I will be appreciate. Thanks and have a nice day

[@sachinchoubey2253]

Thanks for this video. Coincidentally I am just assigned project on TACACS. If you can make more video in detail on TACACS.

[@sunnyclassroom24]

Thanks a lot for your trust. I am afraid you would have already become an expert on TACACS + when I upload another one on it :)

[@sachinchoubey2253]

I wish this is true. But I am sure it will take time for me to clear basics and have industrial knowledge. Would wait for your video on this. Thanks again 😀

[@sunnyclassroom24]

@@sachinchoubey2253 Thanks a lot. You will become a great one!

Hello Sunny. Can I interview for my podcast (Technology Tap)? My students are BIG fans of you and your channel

[@meenakumar4545]

Not sure what is the takeaway from your presentation. TACACS+ is used for admins. Ok. Why Radius is not used for that or what benefits TACACS+ provides to be used in such a scenario? You should explain that. Radius can't authenticate network devices. Are you sure? How?
