> # Global AAA Server Monitoring Parameters

> The global AAA server monitoring parameters function as follows:

> - When a new AAA server is configured it is monitored using the global test parameters, if defined.
> - When global test parameters are added or modified, all the AAA servers, which do not have any test parameters configured, start getting monitored using the new global test parameters.
> - When the server test parameters are removed for a server or when the idle-time is set to zero (default value) the server starts getting monitored using the global test parameters, if defined.
> - If global test parameters are removed or global idle-time is set to zero, servers for which the server test parameters are present are not affected. However, monitoring stops for all other servers that were previously being monitored using global parameters.
> - If the server monitoring fails with the user-specified server test parameters, the server monitoring does not fall back to global test parameters.
