Setting the Default TACACS+ Server Timeout Interval and Retransmits

By default, a switch retries a TACACS+ server only once. This number can be configured. The maximum is five retries per server. You can also configure the timeout value for the TACACS+ server.

To configure the number of retransmissions and the time between retransmissions to the TACACS+ servers using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches > Security > AAA and then select TACACS+.

You see the TACACS+ configuration in the Information pane.

  1. Choose the Defaults tab. (If the Defaults tab is disabled, click the CFS tab first.)

You see the TACACS+ default settings.

  1. Supply values for the Timeout and Retransmits fields for authentication attempts.
  2. Click the Apply Changes icon to save the changes.
