2 - TX Period
Sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the
request. The default value is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535
seconds.
3 - Reauth Enabled
Controls whether the client must periodically reauthenticate. The
default setting of enabled requires the client to periodically
reauthenticate. The time period between reauthenations is set with
option 4 - Reauth Period. If this parameter is set to disabled, the client

retransmissions. The range is 1 to 10 retransmissions.
8 - Control Direction
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
the client logs on by providing a username and password
combination. In the unauthorized state, the port will only accept EAP
