specified by the Re-authentication Period. Re-authentication can be used to detect
if a new device is plugged into a switch port. (Default: Disabled)
• Max-Request – Sets the maximum number of times the switch port will retransmit
an EAP request packet to the client before it times out the authentication session.
(Range: 1-10; Default 2)

has been exceeded before attempting to acquire a new client.
(Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: 60 seconds)

waits before re-transmitting an EAP packet. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 30 seconds)
• Intrusion Action – Sets the port’s response to a failed authentication.
- Block Traffic – Blocks all non-EAP traffic on the port. (This is the default setting.)

VLAN must be separately configured (See ?$paratext>? on page 3-222) and
mapped on each port (See ?$paratext>? on page 3-117).
