• Re-authentication – Sets the client to be re-authenticated after the interval
specified by the Re-authentication Period. Re-authentication can be used to detect
if a new device is plugged into a switch port. (Default: Disabled)
• Max-Request – Sets the maximum number of times the switch port will retransmit
an EAP request packet to the client before it times out the authentication session.
(Range: 1-10; Default 2)
• Quiet Period – Sets the time that a switch port waits after the Max Request Count
has been exceeded before attempting to acquire a new client.
(Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 60 seconds)
• Re-authentication Period – Sets the time period after which a connected client
must be re-authenticated. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 3600 seconds)
• Tx Period – Sets the time period during an authentication session that the switch
waits before re-transmitting an EAP packet. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 30 seconds)
• Intrusion Action – Sets the port’s response to a failed authentication.
- Block Traffic – Blocks all non-EAP traffic on the port. (This is the default setting.)
- Guest VLAN – All traffic for the port is assigned to a guest VLAN. The guest
VLAN must be separately configured (See ’Creating VLANs" on page 3-212)
and mapped on each port (See ’Configuring MAC Authentication for Ports" on
page 3-118).
• Authorized – Displays the 802.1X authorization status of connected clients.
- Yes – Connected client is authorized.
