Specifying Authentication Servers

Use the Authentication Server Configuration page to control management access based on a list of user names
and passwords configured on a RADIUS or TACACS+ remote access authentication server, and to
authenticate client access for IEEE 802.1X port authentication (see page 63).

sends the request. (Range: 3-3600 seconds; Default: 15 seconds)
The time after which the switch considers an authentication server to be dead if it
does not reply. (Range: 0-3600 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
Setting the Dead Time to a value greater than 0 (zero) will cause the
authentication server to be ignored until the Dead Time has expired. However, if
only one server is enabled, it will never be considered dead.

authentication servers, 1813 for RADIUS accounting servers, or 49 for TACACS+
authentication servers.
