AAA --> Int range configuration gives "Command authorization failed" msg.

Versions involved:

AAA

ACS 4.1.4.13.12

Devices:

C2960-LANBASE-M, Version 12.2(25)SEE3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

C3550-I9Q3L2-M, Version 12.1(14)EA1a, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

If we try to configure a single interface or just a very small range, it works fine, but if we try to configure a larger range of interfaces, we get a Command authorization failed message, as can be seen below:

HOST1184(config)#int range fastEthernet 0/1 - 3

Al,

Please check your acs shell command autho settings. You may need to permit range command in it.

Hi JG, thanks for your response.

I don't have the appliance close to me, so I cannot check on this setting.

As soon as I have a chance, I will return with this info.

Anyway, why does it work for other devices and also, why we don't have any problem when configuring a small range of interfaces?

Once again, thanks for your reply.

AL

Some IOS ver send different syntax to acs for command authorization.
