Free Tacacs+/Radius 1

[mattyjenks]

Hi,
Could anyone point me in the right direction of a free Windows Tacacs+/Radius server for 10 users to authenticate against 350+ Cisco Devices

Many thanks in advance
Matt

Windows includes IAS, a RADIUS service.

Already thought of that. it only allows 30 (i think) devices to authenticate with it.

Maybe, I hadn't run into that. We use Cisco ACS now, and that works well. You could look at freeradius, but I have no experience with it.

Cheers for you help. Looked at CiscoSecure but we cant justify £2k for allowing 10 network engineers centralised authentication.....

Oh well might have to look at linux platform afterall then......

And I thought my company was cheap. 2k for a tool like that could be cost justified easily. Has anyone asked how much time your engineers spend doing these tasks manually in 1 year? How about the time saved in just centralizing audit logs for these devices when an investigation or troubleshoot is necessary?
