The
Reauthenticate
button schedules a reauthentication whenever the quiet-period of the port runs
out (EAPOL-based authentication). For MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be
attempted immediately. The button only has effect for successfully authenticated clients on the port
and will not cause the clients to get temporarily unauthorized.
The
Reinitialize
button forces a reinitialization of the clients on the port and thereby a
reauthentication immediately. The clients will transfer to the unauthorized state while the
reauthentication is in progress.
