Syntax Description

Command Modes Configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Setting the time interval to zero disables the timer. If the dead-time interval for an individual TACACS+
server is greater than zero (0), that value takes precedence over the value set for the server group.
When the dead-time interval is 0 minutes, TACACS+ server monitoring is not performed unless the
TACACS+ server is part of a server group and the dead-time interval for the group is greater than
0 minutes.
You must use the feature tacacs+ command before you configure TACACS+.
Examples This example shows how to configure the dead-time interval and enable periodic monitoring:
switch(config)# tacacs-server deadtime 10
This example shows how to revert to the default dead-time interval and disable periodic monitoring:
switch(config)# no tacacs-server deadtime 10
