Configuring the Global TACACS+ Timeout Interval

You can set a global timeout interval that the Nexus 5000 Series switch waits for responses from all

TACACS+ servers before declaring a timeout failure. The timeout interval determines how long the

Nexus 5000 Series switch waits for responses from TACACS+ servers before declaring a timeout failure.
