❑ Auto: Enables 802.1X port-based authentication and causes the
port to begin in the unauthorized state, allowing only EAPOL
frames to be sent and received through the port. The
authentication process begins when the link state of the port
changes . The switch requests the identity of the client and begins
relaying authentication messages between the client and the
authentication server. Each client that attempts to access the
network is uniquely identified by the switch by using the client's
MAC address.
2 - quietPeriod
Sets the number of seconds that the switch 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.
3 - txPeriod
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.
4 - 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.
5 - 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.
6 - serverTimeout
This is the timer used by the switch to determine authentication
server timeout conditions. The default value for this parameter is
30 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.
7 - maxReq
This parameter 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 default value for this
parameter is 2 retransmissions. The range is 1 to 10
retransmissions.
