• Max Count – The maximum number of hosts that can connect to a port
when the Multi-Host operation mode is selected. (Range: 1-1024;
Default: 5)
• Mode – Sets the authentication mode to one of the following options:
• Auto – Requires a dot1x-aware client to be authorized by the
authentication server. Clients that are not dot1x-aware will be
denied access.
• Force-Authorized – Forces the port to grant access to all clients,
either dot1x-aware or otherwise. (This is the default setting.)
• Force-Unauthorized – Forces the port to deny access to all clients,
either dot1x-aware or otherwise.
• Re-authentication – Sets the client to be re-authenticated after the
interval specified by the Re-authentication Period. Re-authentication
can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into an ECN330 port.
(Default: Disabled)
• Max Request – Sets the maximum number of times the ECN330 port
will retransmit an EAP request packet to the client before it times out the
authentication session. (Range: 1-10; Default 2)

Request count has been exceeded before attempting to acquire a new
client. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 60 seconds)
• Re-authentication Period – Sets the time period after which a
connected client must be re-authenticated. (Range: 1-65535 seconds;
Default: 3600 seconds)
• TX Period – Sets the time period during an authentication session that
the ECN330-switch waits before re-transmitting an EAP packet. (Range:
1-65535; Default: 30 seconds)
• Authorized –
• Yes – Connected client is authorized.
• No – Connected client is not authorized.
• Blank – Displays nothing when dot1x is disabled on a port.
