Configuring Reauthentication
Table 112 lists the commands in the Port Interface mode for configuring
reauthentication on authenticator ports. Reauthentication causes
authenticator ports to periodically re-initiate authentication of supplicants.
This is an additional security feature that protects your network by having
supplicants periodically repeat the authentication process.
This example activates reauthentication on authenticator ports 1.0.21 and
1.0.22 so that the supplicants must reauthenticate every 2 hours (7200
seconds):
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21,port1.0.22
awplus(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto
awplus(config-if)# auth reauthentication
awplus(config-if)# auth timeout reauth-period 7200
This example deactivates reauthentication on port 1.0.21:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21
awplus(config-if)# no auth reauthentication
