QuietPeriod (0
– 65535 sec):
Sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. Default is
60
seconds.
ServerTimeout (1
– 65535 sec):
Sets the amount of time the switch waits for a response from the client
before resending the response to the authentication server. Default is
30
seconds.
TxPeriod (1
– 65535 sec):
This sets the TxPeriod of time for the authenticator PAE state machine. This
value determines the period of an EAP Request/Identity packet transmitted to the client. Default is
30
seconds.
ReAuthentication:
Determines whether regular reauthentication will take place on this port. The default
setting is
Disabled
.
Capability:
Indicates the capability of the 802.1X. The possible field values are:
Authenticator
–
Specify the Authenticator settings to be applied on a per-port basis.
None
–
Disable 802.1X functions on the port.
SuppTimeout (1
– 65535 sec):
This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the
Authenticator and the client. Default is
30
seconds.
MaxReq (1
– 10):
This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an
EAP request (md-5challnege) to the client before it times out the authentication session. Default is
2
times.
ReAuthPeriod (1
– 65535 sec):
A constant that defines a nonzero number of seconds between periodic
reauthentication of the client. The default setting is
3600
seconds.
Port Control:
This allows user to control the port authorization state.
Select
ForceAuthorized
to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to the authorized state
without any authentication exchange required. This means the port transmits and receives normal
traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the client.
If
ForceUnauthorized
is selected, the port will remain in the unauthorized state, ignoring all
attempts by the client to authenticate. The Switch cannot provide authentication services to the client
through the interface.
If
Auto
is selected, it will enable 802.1X and cause 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 transitions from down to up, or when an EAPOL-start frame is
received. The Switch then requests the identity of the client and begins relaying authentication
messages between the client and the authentication server.
The default setting is
Auto
.
Direction:
Sets the administrative-controlled direction on the port. The possible field values are:
Both
–
Specify the control is exerted over both incoming and outgoing traffic through the controlled
port selected in the first field.
In
–
Disables the support in the present firmware release.
