Chapter 4 Managing GSS User Accounts Through a Server
Disabling Server Keepalives on the GSS

If you specified a TCP port other than default port 49, specify the following to
remove the key SECRET-123 without removing the server:
gss1.example.com(config)#
no tacacs-server host 192.168.1.101 port
8877 key SECRET-123
Disabling Server Keepalives on the GSS
By default, the GSS enables the automatic use of TCP keepalives to periodically
query all online servers with a TCP keepalive to ensure network
connectivity and application operation. If the GSS determines that the
first TACACS server is down (offline), the GSS then attempts to connect to the
next server in the list of configured servers as the backup server. If a
second (or third) server is available for use, the GSS selects that server
as the active server.
To disable the use of TCP keepalives with the active server, use the
no
form of the
tacacs-server keepalive-enable
command. The syntax for this global
configuration command is as follows:
no tacacs-server keepalive-enable
If you disable TCP keepalives, the GSS will continue to use the
timeout period (that you specified in the
tacacs-server timeout
command) to wait
for a response to a connection attempt from a nonoperational server
before switching to the next server in the list of configured servers. See
the
“Specifying the Server Timeout on the GSS”
section for details on
defining a global timeout period.
To disable the use of TCP keepalives with the active server, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)#
no tacacs-server keepalive-enable
To reenable the use of TCP keepalives with the active server, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)#
tacacs-server keepalive-enable
