From what I recall, TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet, whereas RADIUS sends the entire packet in clear text. But I'll verify that before answering.

Okay, I think I've got this. TACACS+ encrypts the username and password, while RADIUS encrypts just the password. I'll make sure to remember that for the exam.

I'm pretty sure TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet, while RADIUS only encrypts the password. Let me double-check that.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about the power that comes from the manager's position, so I think the answer is Legitimate power.

I bet the answer is B, but I'm also curious if TACACS+ encrypts the password with a secret handshake and a decoder ring. Just kidding, but seriously, encryption is important in these networking protocols.

This is a tough one, but I'm leaning towards B. TACACS+ is the more secure option, encrypting both the username and password. RADIUS is just playing it safe with the password.
