AAA - QUERY
Hi I just wanted some clarification on when to use AAA or when Not need to due to something else being used I think?
Im aware that I can configure AAA on cisco routers - Ok all good
I keep getting confused with the below as I am sure I am wrong as have read about these but can never remember what is what!!!! Can anyonne give me simple one line answers as would be appreciated?
- IAS - Internet Accelerated Server - Speeds up the Internet connection aswell
- TACACS server- Another type of server simular to AAA - I think
- RADIUS Sever - Deals with Fault-tolerance and not logons
- RRAS - Im of the understanding this is used for VPN's or anyone logging on remotely unless they have a direct connection

Thats what I was wondering if one device such as a router has the capability to be configured with AAA does that mean the other is not used. But ok both!!
Radius is presumably used just for 'Dial-up' capability only?

Hi ipajones, been doing some more reading yesturday and youtube videos and beginning to understand better.
Also I kept getting confused with IAS & ISA when it is IAS that features AAA. I whatched a video yesturday that used 2 servers to configure IAS/AAA & RRAS so Im beginning to understand now also.
thanks for your comments anyway and your comments for RADIUS...!

Oh and Radius Server added also..ie
Server 01
Win 2003
Dns
Dhcp
Radius Server
IAS/AAA
Server 02
Win 2003
Public/Private addresses configured already
RRAS
Server 01
Win 2003
Dns
Dhcp
Radius Server
IAS/AAA
Server 02
Win 2003
Public/Private addresses configured already
RRAS
No problem. Glad to have been of some help!

Although I received good advice I found a Youtube video that confirmed with more understanding the experts advice.

I think I remember looking into IAS and Radius on my Win 2003 server which involved AAA which confused me if it could be configured on my routers and switches. Do you have any input on this?
Tacacs - Ive seen this in the workplace but no one could give me an exact answer like that. What if a user wanted to logon from home or from some other place remotely in order that they could fix a problem with a router or switch ?
Thanks!
