Quiet Period
Sets the number of seconds that the port remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. The default
value is 60 seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds.
Maximum Request
Sets the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an EAP
Request packet to the client before it times out the authentication
session. The default value for this parameter is 2 retransmissions. The
range is 1 to 10 retransmissions.
Re-authentication Period
Specifies the time period between periodic reauthentication of the
client. The default value is 3600 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535
seconds.
Port Status
Displays the current 802.1 status of the port as either authorized or
unauthorized. This is not an adjustable parameter. See the description
of the Initialize parameter.
Current PVID
Displays the Port VLAN identifier (PVID) of the port. This is not an
adjustable parameter. For more information about this field, see “Port
VLAN Identifier” on page 49.
Multi-host
Enables multiple hosts to a single 802.1x enabled port. The options
are Enable or Disable. The default setting is Disable.
The Disable setting is appropriate when there is only one host node
connected to each port on the switch. This setting causes the switch to
immediately stop sending multicast packets from a switch port when a
host node signals its desire to leave a multicast group by sending a
leave request or when the host node stops sending reports and times
out. The switch forwards the leave request to the router and
simultaneously ceases transmission of any further multicast packets
from the port where the host node is connected.
The Enable setting is appropriate if there is more than one host node
connected to a switch port, such as when a port is connected to an
Ethernet hub to which multiple host nodes are connected. With this
setting selected, the switch continues sending multicast packets from a
port even after it receives a leave request from a host node on the port.
This ensures that the remaining active host nodes on the port continue
to receive the multicast packets. Only after all of the host nodes
connected to a switch port have transmitted leave requests (or have
timed out) does the switch stop sending multicast packets from the
port.
Guest VLAN ID
Specifies the guest VLAN ID. This feature is only supported on an
