Since HWTACACS is implemented on the basis of TCP, server response timeout or 
TCP timeout may terminate the connection to the TACACS server.

Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.

The default response timeout timer is set to 5 seconds.

Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.

The timer quiet command is used to make the switch ignore users’ requests for 
server within the time configured in this command in case the communication 
between the switch and the server is terminated. In that case, the switch can send 
users’ requests to the server only after it has waited a time no less than the time 
configured with this command for the communication to be resumed.

By default, the primary TACACS server must wait five minutes before it can 
resume the active state. The time ranges from 1 to 255.

The setting of real-time accounting interval is necessary to real-time accounting. 
After an interval value is set, the NAS transmits the accounting information of 
online users to the TACACS accounting server periodically.
