Configuring the Timeout Interval for a Server

You can set a timeout interval that the Cisco Nexus device 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.
