System Configuration Description
Mode Indicates if 802.1X and MAC-based authentication is globally enabled or disabled on
the switch unit. If globally disabled, all ports are allowed forwarding of frames.
Reauthentication Enabled If checked, clients are re-authenticated after the interval specified by the
Reauthentication Period. Re-authentication for 802.1X-enabled ports can be used to
detect if a new device is plugged into a switch port.
For MAC-based ports, re-authentication is only useful if the RADIUS server
configuration has changed. It does not involve communication between the switch
and the client, and therefore doesn’t imply that a client is still present on a port (see
Age Period below).
Reauthentication Period Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected client must be re-authenticated.
This is only active if the Reauthentication Enabled checkbox is checked.
Valid values: 1 ~ 3600 seconds
