The page includes the following fields:
Global Configuration
These setting are common for all of the TACACS+ Servers.
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.

you can change the secret key - up to 63 characters long - shared between the
TACACS+ server and the switch.
