Object 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.
Dead Time
The Dead Time, 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 Dead Time to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but
only if more than one server has been configured.
Key
Specify to change the secret key or not. When "Yes" is selected for the option,
you can change the secret key - up to 63 characters long - shared between the
TACACS+ server and the switch.
