Merge Guidelines for RADIUS and TACACS+ Configurations

The RADIUS and TACACS+ server and global configuration are merged when two fabrics merge. The merged configuration is applied to CFS distribution-enabled switches.

When merging the fabric, be aware of the following conditions:

• The server groups are not merged.
• The server and global keys are not changed during the merge.
• The merged configuration contains all servers found on all CFS enabled switches.
• The timeout and retransmit parameters of the merged configuration are the largest values found per server and global configuration.

Note     Test parameter will be distributed via CFS for TACACS+ Daemon only. If the fabric contains only Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0 devices, then the test parameters will be distributed. If the fabric contains devices running Release 5.0 and some running Release 4.x, the test parameters are not distributed.

Caution

If there is a conflict between two switches in the server ports configured, the merge fails.
