T Commands


This chapter describes the Cisco Nexus 1000V commands that begin with the letter T.

tacacs-server deadtime

To set a periodic time interval where a nonreachable (nonresponsive) TACACS+ server is monitored for responsiveness, use the tacacs-server deadtime command. To disable the monitoring of the nonresponsive TACACS+ server, use the no form of this command.

tacacs-server deadtime minutes

no tacacs-server deadtime minutes

Syntax Description

time

Specifies the time interval in minutes. The range is from 1 to 1440.


Defaults

0 minutes

Command Modes

Global Configuration (config)

Supported User Roles

network-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0(4)SV1(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Setting the time interval to zero disables the timer. If the dead-time interval for an individual TACACS+ server is greater than zero (0), that value takes precedence over the value set for the server group.

When the dead-time interval is 0 minutes, TACACS+ server monitoring is not performed unless the TACACS+ server is part of a server group and the dead-time interval for the group is greater than 0 minutes.

In Global Configuration mode, you must first enable the TACACS+ feature, using the tacacs+ enable command, before you can use any of the other TACACS+ commands to configure the feature.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the dead-time interval and enable periodic monitoring:

n1000v# config terminal
n1000v(config)# tacacs-server deadtime 10

This example shows how to revert to the default dead-time interval and disable periodic monitoring:

n1000v# config terminal
n1000v(config)# no tacacs-server deadtime 10

Related Commands

Command
Description

deadtime

show tacacs-server

tacacs-server directed-request

To allow users to send authentication requests to a specific TACACS+ server when logging in, use the radius-server directed request command. To revert to the default, use the no form of this command.

tacacs-server directed-request

no tacacs-server directed-request

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Disabled

Command Modes

Global Configuration (config)

Supported User Roles

network-admin

Command History

Release
Modification

4.0(4)SV1(1)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

In Global Configuration mode, you must first enable the TACACS+ feature, using the tacacs+ enable command, before you can use any of the other TACACS+ commands to configure the feature.

The user can specify the username@vrfname:hostname during login, where vrfname is the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) name to use and hostname is the name of a configured TACACS+ server. The username is sent to the server name for authentication.


Note If you enable the directed-request option, the NX-OS device uses only the RADIUS method for authentication and not the default local method.


Examples

This example shows how to allow users to send authentication requests to a specific TACACS+ server when logging in:

n1000v# config t
n1000v(config)# tacacs-server directed-request

This example shows how to disallow users to send authentication requests to a specific TACACS+ server when logging in:

n1000v# config t
n1000v(config)# no tacacs-server directed-request
