Security Commands

configure tacacs-accounting timeout

configure tacacs-accounting timeout <seconds>
Description
Configures the timeout interval for TACACS+ accounting authentication requests.
Syntax Description
seconds
Default
The default is 3 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures the timeout interval for TACACS+ accounting authentication requests.
To detect and recover from a TACACS+ accounting server failure when the timeout has expired, the
switch makes one authentication attempt before trying the next designated TACACS+ accounting server
or reverting to the local database for authentication. In the event that the switch still has IP connectivity
to the TACACS+ accounting server, but a TCP session cannot be established, (such as a failed TACACS+
daemon on the accounting server), failover happens immediately regardless of the configured timeout
value.
For example, if the timeout value is set for 3 seconds (the default value), it takes 3 seconds to fail over
from the primary TACACS+ accounting server to the secondary TACACS+ accounting server. If both
the primary and the secondary servers fail or are unavailable, it takes approximately 6 seconds to revert
to the local database for authentication.
Example
The following command configures the timeout interval for TACACS+ accounting authentication to 10
seconds:
configure tacacs-accounting timeout 10
