Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.2.1v	Command qualified for use in Cisco SD-WAN Manager CLI templates.

Usage Guidelines

Use ip tacacs source-interface command to set the IP address of a subinterface for all outgoing TACACS+ packets. This address is used if the interface is in the up state. In this way, the TACACS+ server can use one IP address entry associated with the network access client instead of maintaining a list of all IP addresses. You can use the ip tacacs source-interface command when the router has many interfaces and ensure that all TACACS+ packets from a particular router have the same IP address. The specified interface must have an IP address associated with it. If the specified subinterface does not have an IP address or is in a down state, TACACS+ reverts to the default. To avoid this, add an IP address to the subinterface or bring the interface to the up state.

Example

The following example configures TACACS+ to use the IP address of the loopback0 interface for all outgoing TACACS+ packets.

Device(config)# ip tacacs source-interface loopback0

ip vrf forwarding (server-group)

To associate a Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) reference of an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) TACACS+ server group, use the ip vrf forwarding command in server-group configuration mode. To enable server groups to use the global (default) routing table, use the no form of this command.

ip vrf forwarding vrf-name

no ip vrf forwarding vrf-name

Syntax Description


`name`	Name assigned to a VRF.

Command Default

Server groups use the global routing table.

Command Modes

Server-group configuration (server-group)

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 17.2.1r	Command qualified for use in Cisco vManage CLI templates.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip vrf forwarding command to specify a VRF for a AAA TACACS+ server group. This command enables dial users to utilize AAA servers in different routing domains.

The following example shows how to configure the VRF user using a AAA


aaa group server tacacs+ tacacs-511 
server-private 172.16.0.1 key 7 110a1016141d 
ip vrf forwarding 511

lockout-policy

To configure Cisco SD-WAN Manager and other controllers to lock out users who have made a designated number of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts within a designated period, or who have not logged in for a designated number of days, use the lockout-policy command in global configuration mode. To disable the lockout policy, use the no form of this command.

lockout-policy {[fail-attempts attempts fail-interval fail-interval [lockout-interval lockout-interval]] [num-inactive-days days]}

no lockout-policy {[fail-attempts attempts fail-interval fail-interval [lockout-interval lockout-interval]] [num-inactive-days days]}

Syntax Description

fail-attempts attempts

Specifies the number of consecutive times a user unsuccessfully attempts to log in to Cisco SD-WAN Manager or other controllers after which the user is locked out.

Note

Attempting to log in through the CLI without providing a password is counted as a failed login attempt.

Default: 5

Range: 1 through 3600

fail-interval fail-interval

Specifies the period, in seconds, in which consecutive unsuccessful login attempts are counted.

For example, if this period is set to 10 seconds and the number of failed login attempts is set to 5, a user is locked out if the user makes 5 consecutive unsuccessful login attempts within 10 seconds.

Default: 900

Range: 1 through 3600

lockout-interval lockout-interval

Specifies the period, in seconds, after which a user who is locked out because of unsuccessful login attempts can log in.

If you do not configure this period, an administrator must manually unlock the account of a locked-out user.

Default: 900

Range: 0 through 3600

num-inactive-days days

Specifies the number of days since a user last logged in to Cisco SD-WAN Manager or other controllers after which the user is locked out.

Range: 2 through 365

Command Default

This command is disabled, and so a lockout policy is not in effect. In this case, by default, Cisco SD-WAN Manager and other controllers allow five consecutive unsuccessful password attempts before an account is locked for 15 minutes or until an administrator unlocks it.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 17.12.1a	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When you configure a lockout policy, users who violate the policy cannot log in again until a configured amount of time has passed or an administrator unlocks their accounts in Cisco SD-WAN Manager and other controllers.

The following example shows how to configure a lockout policy of three failed login attempts over a period of 300 seconds, and a reset period of 100 seconds:

device(config-system)# aaa
device (config-aaa)# lockout-policy
device (config-lockout-policy)# fail-attempts 3 fail-interval 300 lockout-interval 100

The following example shows how to configure an inactivity lockout period of 30 days for user logins:

Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 17.12.1a	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You must have a Duo account with local users created on that account.
When you configure this command, users are prompted on their mobile devices to authenticate with Duo after they enter a username and password to log in to Cisco SD-WAN Manager or other controllers.
Duo MFA does not apply to the admin user by default. If you want to enable Duo MFA for the admin user, configure multi-factor-auth duo, then enter the admin-auth-order command.
If Cisco SD-WAN Manager or another controller does not have internet access, use the following commands to configure proxy information for the device on which Duo MFA is enabled. Enter these commands either from the command line of the device or its device template. This configuration provides access to the Duo MFA feature. The device can be a Cisco SD-WAN Manager server, a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Validator, or a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller.
```
vm # config
vm(config)# system aaa
vm(config-aaa)# multi-factor-auth
vm(config-multi-factor-auth)# duo
vm(config-duo)# api-hostname name
vm(config-duo)# secret-key s-key
vm(config-duo)# integration-key i-key
vm(config-duo)# proxy proxy-url
vm(config-duo)# commit
```

The following example shows how to configure Cisco SD-WAN Manager and other controllers to require Duo MFA to verify the identity of users before they can log in:

device(config-system)# aaa
device (config-aaa)# multi-factor-auth duo
device (config-duo)# api-hostname api-xxxxxxxx.duosecurity.com
device (config-duo)# integration-key DIMVTNxxxxxxxxxx
device (config-duo)# secret-key Mxxxxxxxxxxxxx
