Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to pass TACACS traffic through a firewall ?
Bizarrely I am thinking of where the routers are on the secure side, and the
server is on the insecure side!!

The routers need to open the request to the server when someone is trying to log
on to the router.

I don't think I am going to be able to use Socks because you can't get a client
for Cisco routers, so I am guessing I need to open the port for TACACS in the
firewall. That then also means that I need routing between the two networks as
well, at least pointing to the server through the firewall, and to the routers
through the firewall from the other side.

Is Network Address Translation feasible ? That would allow me to avoid the
routing, but I would still have the hole for TACACS.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Joe
