HPE7-A06 · Question #99

The new CTO has set a standard of using a passphrase TACACS for the switch that is 64 characters long for advanced security. What is the issue with this policy?

The correct answer is C. This is not technically possible. On AOS-CX, the maximum supported TACACS+ key length is 32 characters. A 64-character passphrase cannot be configured, so the CTO's policy is not technically possible.
