Default level

2: System level

Parameters

ip-address: IP address in dotted decimal notation. It must be an address of the switch and cannot be 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, a class D address, a class E address, or a loopback address.

Description

Use hwtacacs nas-ip to specify a source IP address for outgoing HWTACACS packets.

Use undo hwtacacs nas-ip to remove the configuration.

By default, the source IP address of a packet sent to the server is the IP address of the outbound interface.

The source IP address of HWTACACS packets that a NAS sends must match the IP address of the NAS that is configured on the HWTACACS server. An HWTACACS server identifies a NAS by IP address. Upon receiving an HWTACACS packet, an HWTACACS server checks whether the source IP address of the packet is the IP address of any managed NAS. If yes, the server processes the packet. If not, the server drops the packet.

You can specify up to one source IP address. A newly specified source IP address overwrites the previous one.

The setting configured by the nas-ip command in HWTACACS scheme view is only for the HWTACACS scheme, whereas that configured by the hwtacacs nas-ip command in system view is for all HWTACACS schemes. The setting in HWTACACS scheme view takes precedence.
