Matching Access Point and Client Device Authentication Types
To use the authentication types described in this section, the access point authentication settings must
match the authentication settings on the client adapters that associate to the access point. Refer to the
Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows
for
instructions on setting authentication types on wireless client adapters. Refer to
Chapter 9, “Configuring
WEP and WEP Features,”
for instructions on configuring WEP on the access point.
Table 10-2
lists the client and access point settings required for each authentication type.
Step 5
dot1x reauth-period
seconds
[
server
]
Enter the interval in seconds that the access point waits before
forcing an authenticated client to reauthenticate.
•
(Optional) Enter the
server
keyword to configure the
access point to use the rauthentication period specified by
the authentication server. If you use this option, configure
your authentication server with RADIUS attribute 27,
Session-Timeout. This attribute sets the maximum number
of seconds of service to be provided to the client before
termination of the session or prompt. The server sends this
attribute to the access point when a client device performs
EAP authentication.
