RADIUS server configuration has changed. It does not involve
communication between the switch and the client, and therefore
doesn't imply that a client is still present on a port.
• Reauthentication
Period
Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected client
must be reauthenticated. This is only active if the
Reauthentication Enabled checkbox is checked. Valid values are
in the range 1 to 3600 seconds.
• EAPOL Timeout Determines the time between retransmission of Request Identity
EAPOL frames.
Valid values are in the range 1 to 255 seconds. This has no effect
for MAC-based ports.
• Aging Period This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using the
Port Security functionality to secure MAC addresses:
 Single 802.1X
 Multi 802.1X
 MAC-Based Auth
When the NAS module uses the Port Security module to secure
MAC addresses, the Port Security module needs to check for
activity on the MAC address in question at regular intervals and
free resources if no activity is seen within a given period of time.
This parameter controls exactly this period and can be set to a
number between 10 and 1000000 seconds.
If reauthentication is enabled and the port is in an 802.1X-based
mode, this is not so critical, since supplicants that are no longer
attached to the port will get removed upon the next
reauthentication, which will fail. But if reauthentication is not
enabled, the only way to free resources is by aging the entries.
For ports in MAC-based Auth. mode, reauthentication doesn't
cause direct communication between the switch and the client,
so this will not detect whether the client is still attached or not,
and the only way to free any resources is to age the entry.
• Hold Time • This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using
the Port Security functionality to secure MAC addresses:
 Single 802.1X
 Multi 802.1X
 MAC-Based Auth
If a client is denied access - either because the RADIUS server
