TACACS+ Server Configuration
Global Configuration
Setting Description
Timeout
Timeout is the number of seconds, in the range 1 to 1000, to wait for a reply
from a TACACS+ server before it is
considered to be dead.
Deadtime
Deadtime, which can be set to a number between 0 to 1440 minutes, is the
period during which the switch will not send new requests to a server that
has failed to respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from
continually trying to contact a server that it has already determined as dead.
Setting the Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature,
but only if more than one server has been configured.
Key
The secret key - up to 63 characters long - shared between the TACACS+
server and the switch.
