key string	Specifies the key of the tacacs server.
servers dictionary	Specifies the servers list of the tacacs server.
host list / elements=dictionary	Specifies the host details of the tacacs servers list.
auth_type string	Specifies the authentication type of the tacacs server host. Choices: `"pap"` ← (default) `"chap"` `"mschap"` `"login"`
key string	Specifies the key of the tacacs server host.
name string	Specifies the name of the tacacs server host.
port integer	Specifies the port of the tacacs server host. Default: `49`
priority integer	Specifies the priority of the tacacs server host. Default: `1`
timeout integer	Specifies the timeout of the tacacs server host. Default: `5`
vrf string	Specifies the vrf of the tacacs server host. Default: `"default"`
