Cisco equivalent of HP Secure Management VLAN

Cisco has sophisticated Authorization, Authentication and Accounting with RADIUS or TACACS+, where you can not just define WHO can login or configure the switch or router, you can even define which command one or another user can call. And to addition to that, you may create an access-list, where you define which IP addresses allowed to telnet to the switch. For example, if you have 3 IP addresses for your admins, you can configure the switch, that only people from these 3 IP addresses can connect to the switch through TELNET:

access-list 99 permit host 10.1.0.10 access-list 99 permit host 10.1.0.11 access-list 99 permit host 10.1.0.12

line vty 0 4 access-class 99
