> # About Users Specifying a TACACS+ Server at Login

> By default, an MDS switch forwards an authentication request to the first server in the TACACS+ server group. You can configure the switch to allow the user to specify which TACACS+ server to send the authenticate request. If you enable this feature, the user can log in as username@hostname, where the hostname is the name of a configured TACACS+ server.
