this port will retransmit an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity before timing out the supplicant. The maximum

the configuration until the Submit button is pressed.

Reauthentication Period - This input field allows the user to enter the reauthentication period for the

state machine on this port to determine when reauthentication of the supplicant takes place. The
reauthentication period must be a value in the range of 1 to 65535. The default value is 3600. Changing
the value will not change the configuration until the Submit button is pressed.
