Examples

Example-1: This data model creates a TACACS monitoring destination group named tacacs_simple with a single TACACS+ accounting destination at 10.0.0.50 over port 49 using pap authentication. The destination is reached over the oob management EPG. The shared secret key is sensitive and should be supplied via a variable or vault.

          destinations:
            - hostname_ip: 10.0.0.50
              port: 49
              protocol: pap
              key: "{{ tacacs_key }}"
              mgmt_epg: oob

Example-2: This data model creates a TACACS monitoring destination group tacacs_advanced with two destinations (one primary using chap over inb, one secondary using mschap over oob), and wires it into the common monitoring policy as a TACACS source with Switch TACACS Audit enabled.
