TACACS+
This page allows you to configure the TACACS+ servers.
Object Description
Global Configuration
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.
Deadtime Deadtime, 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 Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if more
than one server has been configured.
Key The secret key - up to 63 characters long - shared between the TACACS+ server and the
switch.
