I disagree with Kathy.  Our implemetation works like this.  Logging into router via 
tty or console it will ask for username and password from tacacs server.  Should the 
tacacs server go unreachable for any reason, the router asks you for the enable 
password which lets you in.

Provided there are no "backdoors" or backup tacacs, it should fail.

Subject: TACACS and console port


Hi,
        Quick question, because I'm away from a lab that would give me the ability
to test this. If I have authentication on my console/aux ports set to TACACS
and my TACACS server goes down, what happens if I connect to either of those
ports (say the AUX port with a modem)? Do I get denied or allowed? ie, do we
fail open or closed?

Thanks,
Ric
