Example: Setting the down-restore time for RADIUS server to 3 minutes.
Switch(config)#radius-server dead-time 3

RADIUS server response after the switch sends the packet to the RADIUS server. If
authentication information is missing from the authentication server, AAA authentication
request will need to be re-transmitted to the authentication server. If AAA request
