authentication messages

 

 

between the client and the

 

 

authentication server. Each

 

 

client that attempts to

 

 

access the network is

 

 

uniquely identified by the

 

 

switch by using the client's

 

 

MAC address. This is the

 

 

default setting.

 

authorised

Disables 802.1X port-based

 

forceauthenticate

authentication and causes

 

 

the port to transition to the

 

 

authorized state without any

 

 

authentication exchange

 

 

required. The port transmits

 

 

and receives normal traffic

 

 

without 802.1X-based

 

 

authentication of the client.

 

 

The parameters are

 

 

equivalent.

 

unauthorised

Causes the port to remain in

 

forceunauthenticate

the unauthorized state,

 

 

ignoring all attempts by the

 

 

client to authenticate. The

 

 

switch cannot provide

 

 

authentication services to

 

 

the client through the

 

 

interface. The parameters

 

 

are equivalent.

quietperiod

Sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in

 

the quiet state following a failed authentication

 

exchange with the client. The default value is 60

 

seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds.

reauthenabled

Controls whether the client must periodically

 

reauthenticate. Options are:

 

enabled

Specifies that the client must

 

 

periodically reauthenticate.

This is the default setting. The time period between reauthentications is set with the reauthperiod parameter.
