Configuring the Dead-Time Interval
You can configure the dead-time interval for all TACACS+ servers. The dead-time interval specifies the time
that the Cisco Nexus device waits, after declaring a TACACS+ server is dead, before sending out a test packet
to determine if the server is now alive.
When the dead-time interval is 0 minutes, TACACS+ servers are not marked as dead even if they are not
responding. You can configure the dead-time interval per group. See Configuring TACACS+ Server
Groups, on page 51
