Periodic reauthentication timer (reauth-period)
—Sets the interval at which the network
device periodically reauthenticates online 802.1X users. To enable 802.1X periodic
reauthentication on a port, use the
dot1x re-authenticate
command.
•
Server timeout timer (server-timeout)
—Starts when the access device sends a RADIUS
Access-Request packet to the authentication server. If no response is received when this timer
expires, the 802.1X authentication fails.
•
Client timeout timer (supp-timeout)
—Starts when the access device sends an
EAP-Request/MD5-Challenge packet to a client. If no response is received when this timer
expires, the access device retransmits the request to the client.
•
Username request timeout timer (tx-period)
—Starts when the device sends an
EAP-Request/Identity packet to a client in response to an authentication request. If the device
does not receive a response before this timer expires, it retransmits the request. The timer also
sets the interval at which the network device sends multicast EAP-Request/Identity packets to
detect clients that cannot actively request authentication.
The change to the periodic reauthentication timer applies to the users that have been online only
after the old timer expires. Other timer changes take effect immediately on the device.
