Configuring multi-device port authentication

Aging of the Layer 2 hardware entry for a blocked MAC address occurs in two phases, known as
hardware aging and software aging.
On PowerConnect devices, the hardware aging period for blocked MAC addresses is fixed at 70
seconds and is non-configurable. (The hardware aging time for non-blocked MAC addresses is the
length of time specified with the mac-age command.) The software aging period for blocked MAC
addresses is configurable through the CLI, with the mac-authentication max-age command. Once
the hardware aging period ends, the software aging period begins. When the software aging period
ends, the blocked MAC address ages out, and can be authenticated again if the Dell PowerConnect
device receives traffic from the MAC address.
To change the hardware aging period for blocked MAC addresses, enter a command such as the
following.
PowerConnect(config)#mac-authentication hw-deny-age 10
Syntax: [no] mac-authentication hw-deny-age
<num>
The
<num>
parameter is a value from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 70 seconds.
Specifying the aging time for blocked MAC addresses
When the Dell PowerConnect device is configured to drop traffic from non-authenticated MAC
addresses, traffic from the blocked MAC addresses is dropped in hardware, without being sent to
the CPU. A Layer 2 CAM entry is created that drops traffic from the blocked MAC address in
hardware. If no traffic is received from the blocked MAC address for a certain amount of time, this
Layer 2 CAM entry is aged out. If traffic is subsequently received from the MAC address, then an
attempt can be made to authenticate the MAC address again.
Aging of the Layer 2 CAM entry for a blocked MAC address occurs in two phases, known as
hardware aging
and
software aging
. The hardware aging period is fixed at 70 seconds and is
non-configurable. The software aging time is configurable through the CLI.
Once the Dell PowerConnect device stops receiving traffic from a blocked MAC address, the
hardware aging begins and lasts for a fixed period of time. After the hardware aging period ends,
the software aging period begins. The software aging period lasts for a configurable amount of
time (by default 120 seconds). After the software aging period ends, the blocked MAC address
ages out, and can be authenticated again if the Dell PowerConnect device receives traffic from the
MAC address.
To change the length of the software aging period for blocked MAC addresses, enter a command
such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#mac-authentication max-age 180
Syntax: [no] mac-authentication max-age
<seconds>
You can specify from 1 – 65535 seconds. The default is 120 seconds.
Specifying the RADIUS timeout action
A RADIUS timeout occurs when the Dell PowerConnect device does not receive a response from a
RADIUS server within a specified time limit and after a certain number of retries. The time limit and
number of retries can be manually configured using the CLI commands radius-server timeout and
radius-server retransmit, respectively. If the parameters are not manually configured, the Dell
PowerConnect device applies the default value of three seconds with a maximum of three retries.
