Label
Description
Mode
Indicates if 802.1X and MAC-based authentication is globally
enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, all ports
are allowed forwarding of frames.
Reauthentication
Enabled
If checked, clients are reauthenticated after the interval specified
by the Reauthentication Period. Reauthentication for
802.1X-enabled ports can be used to detect if a new device is
plugged into a switch port.
For MAC-based ports, reauthentication 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 reauthenticated. This is only active if the
Reauthentication Enabled checkbox is checked. Valid values are
in the range 1 to 3600 seconds.
EAP Timeout
Determines the time the switch shall wait for the supplicant
response before retransmitting a packet. Valid values are in the
range 1 to 255 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-based ports.
Age Period
This setting applies to ports running MAC-based authentication,
