Usage Guidelines When you set the system-auth-control, the following applies:
•The enable keyword allows you to control each port’s authorization status per the port-control
parameter set using the set port dot1x command.
•The disable keyword allows you to make all ports behave as though the port-control para me ter i s
set to force-authorized.
If you do not enable reauth entication, reauthentication does not automatically occur after authentication has
occurred.
When the supplicant does not notify the authenticator that it received the EAP-request/identity packet,
the authenticator waits a period of time (set by entering the tx-period seconds parameter), and then
retransmits the packet.
When the supplicant does not notify the backend authenticator that it received the EAP-request packet,
the backend authenticator waits a period of time (set by entering the supp-timeout seconds parameter),
and then retransmits the packet.
When the authentication server does not notify the backend authenticator that it received specific
packets, the backend authenticator waits a period of time (set by entering the server-timeout seconds
parameter), and then retransmits the packets.
When you enter the set dot1x dhcp-relay-agent command, you can enter more than one VLAN.
