radius-server deadtime
Use the radius-server deadtime command in Global Configuration mode to
configure the minimum amount of time to wait before attempting to
recontact an unresponsive RADIUS server. 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. To set the deadtime to 0, use
the no form of this command.
