Security Commands 1017

Idle Time—30 minutes

deadtime

Use the deadtime command in RADIUS Server Configuration mode to

configure the minimum amount of time to wait before attempting to

recontact an unresponsive RADIUS server after it has been declared dead.

Syntax

deadtime deadtime

• deadtime — The amount of time that the unavailable server is skipped

over. (Range: 0-2000 minutes)

Default Configuration

The default deadtime interval is 0 minutes, that is, the server will never be

marked dead.

Command Mode

RADIUS Server Configuration mode

User Guidelines

If only one RADIUS server is configured, it is recommended to use a

deadtime interval of 0.

Setting the deadtime to 0 indicates to the switch that the server should never

be marked dead. This effectively disables features such as critical Voice

VLAN.

If a RADIUS server is currently active and responsive, that server will be used

until it no longer responds. RADIUS servers whose deadtime interval has not

expired are skipped when searching for a new RADIUS server to contact.

Example

The following example specifies a deadtime interval of 60 minutes.

console(config)#radius server auth 192.143.120.123

console(config-auth-radius)#deadtime 60
