Hi People,

I am a newbie to Radius, picking up slowly with Radius.

Can I use Radius for TACACS replacement ? We have users/groups and Tacacs server provides authentication/authorization for router cmds to these user/groups. Can I achive this using Radius, if yes, please send some links to start.

Regards, -Manish

Hi Manish, I believe http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-radius/ should cover most of your questions. Note however that you cannot perform command-level audit logging with RADIUS as with TACACS. If this is not important to you, then you're pretty much all set.
