1.2.5 Configuring the Timers Used in Centralized MAC Address
Authentication
The following timers are used in centralized MAC address authentication:
z
Offline detect timer, which sets the time interval for a switch to test whether a user
goes offline. Upon detecting a user is offline, a switch notifies the RADIUS server
of the user to trigger the RADIUS server to stop the accounting on the user.
z
Quiet timer, which sets the quiet period for a switch. After a user fails to pass the
authentication performed by a switch, the switch quiets for a specific period (the
quiet period) before it authenticates users again.
z
Server timeout timer. During authentication, the switch prohibits the user from
accessing the network through the corresponding port if the connection between
the switch and RADIUS server times out.
