Supplicant-timeout Sets the timer used by the switch to determine authentication server timeout conditions. The range is 1 to 600 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.

Server-timeout Sets the timer used by the switch to determine authentication server timeout conditions. The range is 1 to 600 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.

Re-authentication Activates reauthentication on the authenticator port. The client must periodically reauthenticate according to the time interval set with the Reauth-period timer. Click the box to activate this field.

Number of Re-auth Requests— Specifies the maximum number of times the switch retransmits EAP Request packets to an client before it times out an authentication session. The range is 1 to 10 retransmissions. The default value is 2.

Port Control Direction— Specifies whether authenticator ports that are in the unauthorized state should forward egress broadcast and multicast traffic. Choose from the following:

In

Specifies that authenticator ports in the

 

unauthorized state should forward egress

 

broadcast and multicast traffic and discard the

 

ingress broadcast and multicast traffic. This is

 

the default setting.

Both

Specifies that authenticator ports in the

 

unauthorized state should discard both ingress

 

and egress broadcast and multicast traffic.

Dynamic VLAN Creation— Activates dynamic VLAN assignments of authenticator ports. Click the box to activate this field.

Type— Activates dynamic VLAN assignments of authenticator ports. Choose from the following:

Single

Specifies that an authenticator port forwards

 

packets of only those supplicants that have the

 

same VID as the supplicant who initially

 

logged on.

Multi

Specifies that an authenticator port forwards

 

packets of all supplicants, regardless of the

 

VIDs in their client accounts on the RADIUS

 

server.

Guest VLAN— Specifies the ID number of a VLAN that is the guest VLAN of an authenticator port. You can enter only one VID. The range is 1 to 5.
