802.1X Re-authentication
802.1X Re-authentication re-authenticates users that already pass authentication using timer or message trigger.
With 802.1x Re-authentication enabled, the switch periodically checks users' connection status. If a user is detected
not responding to re-authentication messages for a certain time length, it will then be disconnected. If it wishes to
reconnect to the device, it must initiate an 802.1x authentication again via client software.
802.1X Access Control Method
This device supports both port based access control method and MAC based access control method.
When port based access control is adopted, as long as the first user connected to this port is authenticated
successfully, other users accessed can use network resources without being authenticated. However, if the first user
is disconnected, other users will be unable to access Internet.
When MAC based access control is adopted, all users connected to this port need to be authenticated respectively.
If some user is disconnected, only this user is unable to access Internet.
802.1X Port Control Mode
Auto: Port is initially in an "unauthorized" status; in this status, it can only transfer/receive EAPoL messages but
cannot access network resources. Once authenticated, the port control mode will toggle to be authorized and users
can access Internet.
Enforce Authorization: The port is always in an "authorized" status and can implement communication without
being authenticated.
Enforce Unauthorization: The port is always in an "unauthorized" status and can only be used to access device's
management interface but cannot implement communication.
