Usage Guideline
This command can be used to improve the authentication processing time by setting the dead time to skip the
unresponsive server host entries.
When the system performs authentication with the authentication server, it attempts one server at a time. If the
attempted server does not respond, the system will attempt the next server. When the system finds a server
does not respond, it will mark the server as down, start a dead time timer, and skip them in authentication of
the following requests until expiration of the dead time.
Example
This example shows how to set the dead time to ten minutes.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# radius-server deadtime 10
Switch(config)#
