Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Creates a TACACS+ server group and enters the TACACS+ server
group configuration mode for that group.
Configures the TACACS+ server as a member of the TACACS+
server group.
If the specified TACACS+ server is not found, configure it using the
tacacs-server host command and retry this command.
(Optional)
Configures the monitoring dead time. The default is 0 minutes. The
range is from 0 through 1440.
If the dead-time interval for a TACACS+ server group is
Note
greater than zero (0), that value takes precedence over the
global dead-time value.
(Optional)
Assigns a source interface for a specific TACACS+ server group.
The supported interface types are management and VLAN.
Use the source-interface command to override the global
Note
source interface assigned by the ip tacacs source-interface
command.
Exits configuration mode.
(Optional)

(Optional)
