Symptom

There is no "TACACS-server deadtime" configuration parameter in IOS and XE releases of code. Without having the ability to configure a deadtime, command authorization is attempted against an unreachable server for every command that is entered. This causes significant delay with each command further complicating the troubleshooting process.

Conditions

- Running IOS or XE releases of code (Issue might also affect XR releases of code) - TACACS command authorization is configured - TACACS server is unreachable or TACACS server is down
