8. What does "AV" mean?

"AV" is an abbreviation for "attribute-value". In the TACACS+ protocol, most information is transmitted using AV-pairs, meaning that you give a value to a specific attribute. E.g. "address=172.20.1.1" is such an AV pair telling that the IP address (the attribute) is or shall be 172.20.1.1 (the value).
