ACS and Switch Lockups

matty15206_2000 · ‎07-10-2012

Hi All,

We are having a problem with our ACS and switch configuration.

Basically if the switches lose connectivity to the ACS server the switches completely lock up, you can’t even console onto the switches.

We want them to use the fall back username and password when this happens.

See attached for one of our 3750 AAA configs

Any help would be great as we are a bit stuck can anyone see anything we are missing?

Thanks

Matt

I don't see an username and password in the configuration - all I see is a line password and enable secret.

First, you need to create the local username and password then change the option from line to local.

Note: make sure to assign priv 15 to the local account.

for instance:

aaa authentication login virtual_terminal group tacacs+ line

to

aaa authentication login virtual_terminal group tacacs+ local
