Configuring Reauthentication
Table 86 lists the commands in the Port Interface mode for configuring
reauthentication on authenticator ports. Reauthentication causes
authenticator ports to periodically revert to an unauthorized status and to
stop forwarding traffic until clients reauthenticate themselves. This is an
additional security feature that protects your network by having clients
periodically repeat the authentication process.
This example activates reauthentication on authenticator ports 21 and 22
so that the clients must reauthenticate every 12 hours (43200 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 43200
This example deactivates reauthentication on port 21:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21
awplus(config-if)# no auth reauthentication
