To disable the use of TCP keepalives with the active TACACS+ server, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)# no tacacs-server keepalive-enable
To reenable the use of TCP keepalives with the active TACACS+ server, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)# tacacs-server keepalive-enable
Specifying the TACACS+ Server Timeout on the GSS
As a secondary measure should the TCP keepalives fail, or if you disable the use
of keepalives, you can use the tacacs-server timeout command to define a global
TACACS+ timeout period, in seconds, that specifies how long the GSS waits for
a response to a connection attempt from a TACACS+ server. The timeout value
applies to all defined TACACS+ servers. The default timeout period is five
seconds.
To specify the timeout period, use the tacacs-server timeout command. The
syntax for this global configuration command is:
tacacs-server timeout seconds
Enter a value from 1 to 255 seconds. The GSS dynamically applies the modified
timeout period and the new value takes effect automatically on the next TACACS+
connection.
For example, to set the timeout period to 60 seconds, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)# tacacs-server timeout 60
To reset the timeout period to the default of five seconds, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)# no tacacs-server timeout 60
