How to Configure the Global Default Timeout
Use this command to define the global default timeout interval for the TACACS+ server hosts. This
default timeout interval can be overridden for a specific TACACS+ server host by explicitly configuring
a different timeout interval for that TACACS+ server host.
Options
The following options are available:
•
How to Define the Global Default Timeout
Step 1 From the SCE(config)# prompt, type tacacs-server timeout timeout-interval and press Enter.
How to Clear the Global Default Timeout
Step 1 From the SCE(config)# prompt, type no tacacs-server timeout and press Enter.
No global default timeout interval is defined. Each TACACS+ server host may still have a specific
timeout interval defined. However, any server host that does not have a timeout interval explicitly
defined (uses the global default timeout interval) is now configured to a five second timeout interval.

which includes the following information for all users:
