Restart
Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when
authentication is globally enabled and the port's Admin State is "Auto" or
"MAC-Based".
Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take effect.
•
Reauthenticate:
Schedules a reauthentication to whenever the
quiet-period of the port runs out (port-based authentication). For
MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be attempted immediately.
The button only has effect for successfully authenticated ports/clients and will not
cause the port/client to get temporarily unauthorized.
•
Reinitialize:
Forces a reinitialization of the port/clients and thereby a
reauthentication immediately. The port/clients will transfer to the
unauthorized state while the reauthentication is ongoing.
