- 843 -
define periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The quiet period is the
period for which the authenticator does not attempt to acquire a supplicant after a failed
authentication exchange with the supplicant. The quiet period is a number in the range of 0 and
65535.
Transmit Period(secs) - This field displays the configured transmit period for the selected port. The
transmit period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on the
specified port to determine when to send an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant.
The transmit period is a number in the range of 1 to 65535.
Guest VLAN ID(secs) - This field displays the configured guest Vlan ID for the selected port. The
guest Vlan ID is a value of 0 to 3965.
Guest VLAN Period(secs) - This field displays the configured guest Vlan period for the selected
port. The guest Vlan period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the GuestVlan
Authentication. The guest Vlan period is a number in the range of 1 and 300.
Supplicant Timeout(secs) - This field displays the configured supplicant timeout for the selected
port. The supplicant timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state
machine on this port to timeout the supplicant. The supplicant timeout is a value in the range of 1 to
65535.
Server Timeout(secs) - This field displays the configured server timeout for the selected port. The
server timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator on this port to timeout
the authentication server. The server timeout is a value in the range of 1 to 65535.
Maximum Requests - This field displays the configured maximum requests for the selected port.
The maximum requests value is the maximum number of times the authenticator state machine on
this port will retransmit an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity before timing out the supplicant. The
maximum requests value is in the range of 1 to 10.
Reauthentication Period(secs) - This field displays the configured reauthentication period for the
selected port. The reauthentication period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the
authenticator state machine on this port to determine when reauthentication of the supplicant takes
place. The reauthentication period is a value in the range of 1 to 65535.
Reauthentication Enabled - This field displays if reauthentication is enabled on the selected port.
This is a configurable field. The possible values are 'true' and 'false'. If the value is 'true'
reauthentication will occur. Otherwise, reauthentication will not be allowed.
Control Direction - This displays the control direction for the specified port. The control direction
dictates the degree to which protocol exchanges take place between Supplicant and Authenticator.
This affects whether the unauthorized controlled port exerts control over communication in both
directions (disabling both incoming and outgoing frames) or just in the incoming direction (disabling
only the reception of incoming frames). This field is not configurable on some platforms.
Protocol Version - This field displays the protocol version associated with the selected port. The
only possible value is 1, corresponding to the first version of the 802.1x specification. This field is not
configurable.
PAE Capabilities - This field displays the port access entity (PAE) functionality of the selected port.
Possible values are "Authenticator" or "Supplicant". This field is not configurable.
Authenticator PAE State - This field displays the current state of the authenticator PAE state
machine. Possible values are:
"Initialize"
"Disconnected"
"Connecting"
"Authenticating"
"Authenticated"
"Aborting"
