Sure. But maybe the OP just prefers EEM, right?

Having said that, I'm (genuinely) curious - where do you store the local admin password, and how often is it exercised? How do you ensure that everyone knows it, and there won't be a major delay while you have to dig it out of your password safe?

One reason there's a degree of comfort with only using the local passwords at our place is that it means everyone knows (has to know) the "real" router password. There's no possibility of a:

"darn, haven't used this in 6 months, can't remember it, oops the online password database is down, trudge down to physical storage, open it, oops someone forgot to update the bit of paper..."

...moment ;o)

(Of course the major reason we don't use TACACS is absence of need due to absence of hierarchy, but I am curious how you deal with that)
