Release	Modification
Release 3.3.0	This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1 and
	Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Note If you configure the radius-server dead-criteria time command before the radius-server deadtime command, the radius-server dead-criteria time command may not be enforced.

If a packet has not been received since the router booted and there is a timeout, the time criterion is treated as though it were met.

If the seconds argument is not indicated, the time is set to the defaults.
