Tim,
Usually, if the submit&restart option is available it is required for the
changes you have made to take effect. Usually meaning always... I have
never hit submit when submit&restart is available and not seen this message:
The current configuration has been changed. Restart ACS in "System
Configuration:Service Control" to adopt the new settings.
As for your other question, regarding multiple servers. I've always used
the single-connection option when defining a tacacs-server on the IOS
device.
from cisco.com :
Use the *single-connection* keyword to specify single-connection (only valid
with CiscoSecure Release 1.0.1 or later). Rather than have the router open
and close a TCP connection to the daemon each time it must communicate, the
single-connection option maintains a single open connection between the
router and the daemon. This is more efficient because it allows the daemon
to handle a higher number of TACACS operations.
I haven't tested multiple servers without it. I probably should though...
I'll have to check but I believe if a device is able to reach an ACS server
it will continue to use that server for subsequent requests. It isn't a
load balancing type of situation where it will use the first one server
listed then use the next server when it needs to make another request.
