- GNS3 now has a AAA Docker Container. This makes it really easy to add RADIUS and TACACS servers to your GNS3 topologies!

Two prominent security protocols used to control access into networks are Cisco TACACS+ and RADIUS. The RADIUS specification is described in RFC 2865 leavingcisco.com, which obsoletes RFC 2138 leavingcisco.com. Cisco is committed to supporting both protocols with the best of class offerings. It is not the intention of Cisco to compete with RADIUS or influence users to use TACACS+. You should choose the solution that best meets your needs. This document discusses the differences between TACACS+ and RADIUS, so that you can make an informed choice.
Cisco has supported the RADIUS protocol since Cisco IOS® Software Release 11.1 in February 1996. Cisco continues to enhance the RADIUS Client with new features and capabilities, supporting RADIUS as a standard.
Cisco seriously evaluated RADIUS as a security protocol before it developed TACACS+. Many features were included in the TACACS+ protocol to meet the needs of the growing security market. The protocol was designed to scale as networks grow, and to adapt to new security technology as the market matures. The underlying architecture of the TACACS+ protocol complements the independent authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) architecture.
RADIUS uses UDP while TACACS+ uses TCP. TCP offers several advantages over UDP. TCP offers a connection-oriented transport, while UDP offers best-effort delivery. RADIUS requires additional programmable variables such as re-transmit attempts and time-outs to compensate for best-effort transport, but it lacks the level of built-in support that a TCP transport offers:
TCP usage provides a separate acknowledgment that a request has been received, within (approximately) a network round-trip time (RTT), regardless of how loaded and slow the backend authentication mechanism (a TCP acknowledgment) might be.
TCP provides immediate indication of a crashed, or not running, server by a reset (RST). You can determine when a server crashes and returns to service if you use long-lived TCP connections. UDP cannot tell the difference between a server that is down, a slow server, and a non-existent server.
Using TCP keepalives, server crashes can be detected out-of-band with actual requests. Connections to multiple servers can be maintained simultaneously, and you only need to send messages to the ones that are known to be up and running.
TCP is more scalable and adapts to growing, as well as congested, networks.

What you do for the network community is amazing and quite inspiring.Guys like you are really taking away the excuses. LAB IT UP!!
Keep doing what you do. We appreciate it.
Thanks for the great comment!
I wish you good health, feel better soon.
Thank you, Naing!
everytime i look for a topic i need help and i see one of your videos its like a seal of quality, i know i don't need to find any more videos! Im currently studying for icnd2 and they don't ask you to know how to implement an AAA server but i want to lab it. I think i can speak from everyone, big thanks! you help the network community a lot!
Thank you Joao!
Excellent work. Thanks for share this kind of info with us!
beautiful !!
super cool explanation...........
Glad to hear that and thank you for watching!
Great content and info as usual.
I love your courses in udemy.
Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation. i have tried this with Rest API and is working. is there a way to assign the ip address for the docker container while creating it using Rest API?
This is a super cool feature in GNS3, thanks to the creator and David for presenting. BTW, I am not a Linux admin, what is the command to edit & save 'ifconfig' from CLI? Google search not favored me.
Use nano to edit and save the IP address with this: nano /etc/network/interfaces
Search online of look here for some nano tips: www.howtogeek.com/howto/42980/the-beginners-guide-to-nano-the-linux-command-line-text-editor/
Thank you for sharing nano tips, it helped me. You're a simply an amazing mentor!!!
can i add other user's to the aaa server other than alice and bob ? example from an active directory in windows server (linked to the radius server ) and if it possible ..how can we do it ?
=> Error while creating node: Cannot connect to compute 'GNS3 VM (GNS3 VM)' with request POST /projects
Step By Step following but it fails ... ;-(
Please ask this in the GNS3 community here: gns3.com/community
Check if your versions of GNS3 and GNS3VM are the same.
Sometimes you have to restart VMnet 1 and 8 on VMWare.
Sometimes you have to restart the host machine
In my case the appliance is not taking ip address with dhcp and i also tried manual ip config using nano but not able to ping it from router interfaces. Router and aaa both running on gns3vm
If you're using the built-in generic ethernet switch in GNS3, I've had similar issues with devices not being able to pass traffic. Sometimes it seems to be caused when the PC goes to sleep while GNS3 is still running, but I've also had it happen when that wasn't the case. You might want to ask on their forums, since it seems to be random.
Andrew Coleman sorry i did not update it worked for me today but on windows 7 the radius server problem explained in part 3 just does not go away man. I tried everything, but who knows it might work tomorrow, it's just good old windows
@@amitbeniwal1 I have the same problem, Have you solved the issue?
