Hi,

Depending on the requirement you can go ahead with configuration. I mean, ACS can be used to grant users access to devices' administration (ex: administration of Routers, Switches etc) and also for Network access (ex. access to network resources).

You can refer to following URLs:

I hope it help you to configure ACS. All the best.

Regards,

Bhushan
