Description
The timeout, which can be set to a number between 3 and 3600
seconds, is the maximum time to wait for a reply from a server.
If the server does not reply within this time frame, we will
consider it to be dead and continue with the next enabled server
(if any).
TACACS+ servers are using the UDP protocol, which is
unreliable by design. In order to cope with lost frames, the
timeout interval is divided into 3 subintervals of equal length. If a
reply is not received within the subinterval, the request is
transmitted again. This algorithm causes the RADIUS server to
be queried up to 3 times before it is considered to be dead.
The dead time, which can be set to a number between 0 and
3600 seconds, is the period during which the switch will not
send new requests to a server that has failed to respond to a
previous request. This will stop the switch from continually trying
to contact a server that it has already determined as dead.
Setting the dead time to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable
this feature, but only if more than one server has been
configured.
The shared secret between the switch and the
server.
