Transmit Period (secs)
Configures the 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 Extensible Authentication Protocol
Over LAN (EAPOL) EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant. The transmit
period range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 30.
Supplicant Timeout (secs)
Specify the 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 range is 1 to 65535. The default
value is 30. Changing the value will not change the configuration until the Apply
button is clicked.
Server Timeout (secs)
Specify the 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 range is 1 to 65535. The default value is
30.
Maximum Requests
Specify the 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 range is 1 to 10. The default value is 2.
Reauthentication Period (secs)
Specify the 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 range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 3600.
Reauthentication Enabled
Enable or Disable the reauthentication of the supplicant for the specified port. If the
value true is selected reauthentication will occur. Otherwise, reauthentication will
not be allowed. The default value is false.
Click the Initialize button to begin the initialization sequence on the selected port. This button is
only selectable if the control mode is auto. If the button is not selectable, it will be grayed out. Once
you click this button the action is immediate and you will not need to press the Apply button for the
action to occur.
Click the Reauthenticate button to begin the reauthentication sequence on the selected port. This
button is only selectable if the control mode is auto. If the button is not selectable, it will be grayed
out. Once you click this button the action is immediate and you will not need to press the Apply
button for the action to occur.
Click the Refresh button to update the information on the page.
Click the Apply button to send the updated screen to the switch and cause the changes to take effect
on the switch. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle you must perform
a save.
