Hi Tacack The "*radius-server deadtime" *is required even if *radius-server dead-criteria *is configured to mark the radius server as dead.
*radius-server deadtime *configures the amount of time for which the router shouldn't contact the radius server. Only after the time elapses, the router contacts the radius server. *radius-server dead-criteria *configures the amount of time within which the radius server should reply back else it is marked as dead. You can also configure the number of tries. Snippet from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_3t/secur/command/reference/sec_r1gt.html#wp1173579 A RADIUS server marked as "dead" is skipped by additional requests for the duration of *minutes* or unless there are no servers not marked "dead." Snippet from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/sec_user_services/configuration/guide/sec_aaa_dead_server_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html#wp1062116 Prerequisites for AAA Dead-Server Detection •You must have access to a RADIUS server. •You should be familiar with configuring a RADIUS server. •You should be familiar with configuring authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). •Before a server can be marked as dead, you must first configure the *radius-server deadtime* command. If this command is not configured, even if the criteria are met for the server to be marked as dead, the server state will be the "up" state.
