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.
