Configuring the Timeout Interval for a Server

You can set a timeout interval that the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch waits for responses from a TACACS+
server before declaring a timeout failure. The timeout interval determines how long the switch waits for
responses from a TACACS+ server before declaring a timeout failure.
To configure the timeout interval for a server, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# switch(config)# tacacs-server host {ipv4-address | ipv6-address | host-name} timeout
seconds
3. switch(config)# exit
4. (Optional) switch# show tacacs-server
5. (Optional) switch# copy running-config startup-config

Step 5 switch# copy running-config startup-config

Configuring TCP Ports

You can configure another TCP port for the TACACS+ servers if there are conflicts with another application.
By default, Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches use port 49 for all TACACS+ requests.
To configure TCP ports, perform this task:
