Network Device Administration (TACACS+)
AAA for network device management is a classic use case for Radiator products. Radiator offers possibility to mix and match with RADIUS and TACACS+, is vendor neutral and remains under active development and support for years to come.
Network device administration
A classic use case for an AAA server is to manage administrative access to network devices such as controllers, switches and network gateways. Device administration for various types of NAS can be done with RADIUS or TACACS+ protocols.
With Radiator, you can get rid of insecure shared passwords and implement role-based access with personal user accounts. For easy user management, Radiator integrates external LDAP and SQL backends for fetching the user information and privileges. User authentication can also be combined with various MFA options for further security.
RADIUS or TACACS+
The choice between RADIUS and TACACS+ depends on security requirements in your organisation and the protocols supported by your device vendor(s). TACACS+ adds more encryption and allows more granular control for authorising each command separately, but not all devices support it. Radiator can be configured to process both RADIUS and TACACS+ requests, so you can choose one or both.
Great in multi-vendor network
With Radiator, you can avoid vendor lock-in and freely choose the network equipment you want: Radiator includes vendor-specific attributes from most device vendors and adding proprietary ones or own custom attributes is made easy. This makes Radiator a great choice for multi-vendor environments.
Deployment support
Radiator team has lots of experience with device administration deployments, so we can help you whether you’re considering a greenfield deployment, want to upgrade from an in-house or open source setup, want to unify AAA following a merger or acquisition, or migrate from other solutions.
