AAA: TACACS+ & RADIUS Practice Questions

Authentication, authorization, and accounting with TACACS+ and RADIUS.

One solved question, so you can see how these are marked

What is a major operational difference between TACACS+ and RADIUS protocols?

TACACS+ separates Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting functions; RADIUS combines Authentication and Authorization.

TACACS+ runs on TCP port 49, separates AAA functions independently, and encrypts the entire packet payload. RADIUS runs on UDP (1812/1813), combines AuthN and AuthZ, and encrypts only the password field.
