Description

Use the mac-authentication timer command to set the MAC authentication

 

timers.

 

Use the undo mac-authentication timer command to restore the defaults.

 

By default, the offline detect interval is 300 seconds, the quiet period is 60

 

seconds, and the server timeout period is 100 seconds.

 

The following timers function in the process of MAC authentication:

 

Offline detect timer: At this interval, the device checks to see whether an online

 

user has gone offline. Once detecting that a user becomes offline, the device

 

sends to the RADIUS server a stop accounting notice.

 

Quiet timer: Whenever a user fails MAC authentication, the device does not

 

initiate any MAC authentication of the user during such a period.

 

Server timeout timer: During authentication of a user, if the device receives no

 

response from the RADIUS server in this period, it assumes that its connection

 

to the RADIUS server has timed out and forbids the user from accessing the

 

network.
