Parameter description:

Mode :
Indicates if NAS is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, all ports
are allowed forwarding of frames.

Reauthentication Enabled :
If checked, successfully authenticated supplicants/clients are reauthenticated after the
interval specified by the Reauthentication Period. Reauthentication for 802.1X-enabled ports
can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a switch port or if a supplicant is no
longer attached.
For MAC-based ports, reauthentication is only useful if the 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 (see Aging Period below).

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 for retransmission of Request Identity EAPOL frames.
Valid values are in the range 1 to 255 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-based ports.


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
