Correct answer & explanation
Check AAA server reachability
First, check the AAA server reachability to ensure the backend is accessible. Then verify the active authentication method list applied globally. Next, confirm the authorization method list for exec or commands. After that, validate the accounting configuration to track access. Finally, test the actual access control by attempting a remote login.
Quick reference
AAA Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port(s) | Encryption | Transport | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RADIUS | 1812 / 1813 | Password only | UDP | Network access control |
| TACACS+ | 49 | Full packet | TCP | Device administration |
| Diameter | 3868 | Full session | TCP / SCTP | Carrier / mobile networks |
| 802.1X | — | EAP-based | Layer 2 | Port-based access control |
TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet; RADIUS only encrypts the password field — a key exam distinction.
