TACACS port number

[damesac]

Anyone know in what IOS did we gain the functionality of forcing authentication over a given port to a TACACS server?

The syntax is as follows...

tacacs-server host hostname [single-connection] [port integer] [timeout integer] [key string]

Reason being, our TACACS server has users organized into differernt functional groups that each use a different port for authentication. The default port is 49, but due to my area of responsibility, I happen to fall into the group that is set to use port 52.

I have been temporarily given access to the port 49 group so that I can authenticate to this switch and make the necessary changes to port 52, but the CatOS is 5.5(16) and when configuring the TACACS settings, port numbers are not valid arguments in the syntax.

I think this feature was first introduced with IOS version 10.0, but just looking for assurance.

Thanks for the reply Syty. Can you possibly provide me with the documetation that specifies that. I'll be needing to provide it so that I may remain in the port 49 group until our organization makes the leap to upgrade.

Thanks!

Here it is for 11.2, but I can't find any earlier.
