Default
No MAC authentication delay timer is set on a port. MAC authentication delay is disabled. MAC
authentication starts immediately after it is triggered by a user packet.
No periodic MAC reauthentication timer is set on a port. The port uses the global periodic MAC
reauthentication timer.

Parameters
auth-delay auth-delay-time
: Sets the delay time for MAC authentication in seconds. The
value range is 1 to 180.
reauth-period reauth-period-value
: Sets the port-specific periodic MAC reauthentication
timer, in seconds.The value range for this timer is 60 to 86400.
Usage guidelines
When both 802.1X authentication and MAC authentication are enabled on a port, you can delay
MAC authentication so that 802.1X authentication is preferentially triggered. If no 802.1X
authentication is triggered or if 802.1X authentication fails within the delay period, the port continues
to process MAC authentication.
Do not set the port security mode to mac-else-userlogin-secure or
mac-else-userlogin-secure-ext when you want to use MAC authentication delay. The delay does
not take effect on a port in either of the two modes. For more information about port security modes,
see "Port security commands."
The device reauthenticates online MAC authentication users on a port at the specified periodic
reauthentication interval if the port is enabled with periodic MAC reauthentication. To enable periodic
MAC reauthentication on a port, use the
mac-authentication re-authenticate
command.
A change to the port-specific periodic reauthentication timer applies to online users only after the old
timer expires.
The device selects a periodic reauthentication timer for MAC reauthentication in the following order:
1. Server-assigned reauthentication timer.
2. Port-specific reauthentication timer.
3. Global reauthentication timer.
4. Default reauthentication timer.
