Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)

– 333 –

regardless of the 802.1X Operation Mode (Single-Host, Multi-Host, or

MAC-Based authentication as described on

page 385

).

Authenticated MAC addresses are stored as dynamic entries in the

switch’s secure MAC address table and are removed when the aging

time expires.
The maximum number of secure MAC addresses supported for the

switch system is 1024.

Reauthentication Time – Sets the time period after which a

connected host must be reauthenticated. When the reauthentication

time expires for a secure MAC address, it is reauthenticated with the

RADIUS server. During the reauthentication process traffic through the
port remains unaffected. (Default: 1800 seconds;

Range: 120-1000000 seconds)
