Viewing and Configuring Global 802.1X Settings 305

9To enable reauthentication of 802.1X clients, select Reauthentication.

To disable reauthentication, clear Reauthentication. By default, reauthentication is enabled.

10To specify the number of reauthentication requests the WX switch attempts before a client becomes unauthorized, specify the value

(1 to 10) in the Reauthentication Attempts box. The default is 2 attempts.

If the number of reauthentications for a wired authentication client is greater than the maximum number of reauthentications allowed, MSS sends an EAP failure packet to the client and removes the client from the network. However, MSS does not remove a wireless client from the network under these circumstances.

11To specify the number of seconds before reauthentication is attempted, specify the timeout value, from 60 to 1,641,600 seconds (19 days), in the Reauthentication Period box. The default is 3600 seconds (one hour).

MSS reauthenticates dynamic WEP clients based on the reauthentication timer. MSS also reauthenticates WPA clients if the clients use the WEP-40 or WEP-104 cipher. For each dynamic WEP client or WPA client using a WEP cipher, the reauthentication timer is set to the lesser of the global setting or the value returned by the AAA server with the rest of the authorization attributes for that client.

12To enable WEP key rolling (rotation) of the broadcast and multicast WEP keys, select WEP Key Rolling.

13To specify the time to wait before rotating the WEP key, specify the value, from 30 to 1,641,600 seconds, (19 days) in the WEP Key Rolling Period box. The default is 3600 seconds (one hour).

14To specify the number of seconds MSS retains session information for Bonded Auth™ (bonded authentication) purposes for an authenticated machine while waiting for the 802.1X client on the machine to start (re)authentication for the user, specify the value, from 1 to 300 seconds, in the Bonded Period box. The default is 0 seconds.
