Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) — Question 148

Which are two characteristics of TACACS+? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It separates authorization and authentication functions.
• B. It combines authorization and authentication functions.
• C. It uses UDP port 49.
• D. It encrypts the password only.
• E. It uses TCP port 49.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answer is A and E because TACACS+ does indeed separate the authorization and authentication functions and uses TCP port 49 for communication. Options B and C are incorrect as they misrepresent TACACS+'s functionality and the protocol it uses, while D inaccurately states that only the password is encrypted, as TACACS+ encrypts the entire payload.
