Configuring the TACACS+ Dead-Time Interval
You can configure the dead-time interval for all TACACS+ servers. The dead-time interval specifies the time
that the Cisco NX-OS 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-timer interval is 0 minutes, TACACS+ servers are not marked as dead even if they are not
responding. You can configure the dead-timer per group.
Note
Before you begin
