Guidelines and Limitations for

• You can configure a maximum of 64 servers on the Cisco NX-OS device.
• If you have a user account configured on the local Cisco NX-OS device that has the same name as a
remote user account on an AAA server, the Cisco NX-OS software applies the user roles for the local
user account to the remote user, not the user roles configured on the AAA server.
• Cisco recommends that you configure the dead-time interval if more than six servers are configured in
a group. If you must configure more than six servers, make sure to set the dead-time interval to a value
greater than 0 and enable dead server monitoring by configuring the test username and test password.
• Command authorization on servers is available only for non-console sessions. If you use a
console to login to the server, command authorization is disabled.
• For N9K-X9636C-R and N9K-X9636Q-R line cards and the N9K-C9508-FM-R fabric module,
authentication fails for usernames with special characters.
