> DirectReq | Specifies whether you can choose an AAA server for authentication during login. If true, you can specify the remote AAA server for authentication during login. If you specify the login name as username@hostname, then the authentication request is sent to the remote AAA server hostname with the user name as user name. If false, you cannot specify the remote AAA server for authentication during login.
> DeadTime (m) | The DeadTime setting for AAA server group. This indicates the length of time in minutes that the system will mark the server dead when a AAA server does not respond to an authentication request. During the interval of the dead time, any authentication request that comes up would not be sent to that AAA server that was marked as dead. The default value of 0 means that the AAA servers will not be marked dead if they do not respond.
