of the link between the supplicant and
the switch or the switch is reset or power
cycled.
reauthperiod Enables periodic reauthentication of the client, which is
disabled by default. The default value is 3600 seconds.
The range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
supptimeout Sets the switch-to-client retransmission time for the
EAP-request frame. The default value for this
parameter is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 600
seconds.
servertimeout or Sets the timer used by the switch to determine
servtimeout
authentication server timeout conditions. The default
value is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.
The parameters are equivalent.
maxreq Specifies the maximum number of times that the switch
retransmits an EAP Request packet to the client before
it times out the authentication session. The range is 1 to
10 retransmissions and the default is 2.
ctrldirboth Specifies how the port is to handle ingress and egress
broadcast and multicast packets when in the
unauthorized state.
When a port is set to the authenticator role, it remains in
the unauthorized state until a client is authenticated by
the authentication server. In the unauthorized state, the
port accepts only EAP packets from the client. All other
ingress packets the port might receive from the
supplicant, including multicast and broadcast traffic, are
discarded until the supplicant has been authenticated.
You can use this selection to control how an
authenticator port handles egress broadcast and
multicast traffic when in the unauthorized state. You
can instruct the port to forward this traffic to the client,
even though the client has not logged on, or you can
have the port discard the traffic.
The options are:
ingress An authenticator port, when in the
unauthorized state, discards all ingress
broadcast and multicast packets from the
client while forwarding all egress
broadcast and multicast traffic to the same
client. This is the default setting.
