What is TACACS?

TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System) is a family of related protocols handling remote authentication and authorization of users who are trying to access a network. TACACS is typically used to provide centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services for network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls. It allows network administrators to control who can access network devices, what operations they can perform, and to track their activity.
