Authentication type	Timeout (sec)

set multiauth session-timeout

Use this command to set the maximum number of seconds an authenticated session may last before termination of the session.

Syntax

set multiauth session-timeout [dot1x mac pwa] timeout

Parameters

dot1x	(Optional) Specifies the IEEE 802.1X port‐based network access control
	authentication method for which to set the session timeout value.
mac	(Optional) Specifies the Enterasys MAC authentication method for
	which to set the session timeout value.
pwa	(Optional) Specifies the Enterasys Port Web Authentication method for
	which to set the session timeout value.
timeout	Specifies the timeout value in seconds. The value can range from 0 to
	65535. A value of 0 means that no session timeout will be applied unless
	a session timeout value is provided by the authenticating server.

Defaults

If no authentication method is specified, the session timeout value is set for all authentication methods.

Mode

Switch mode, read‐write.

Usage

A value of zero may be superseded by a session timeout value provided by the authenticating server. For example, if a session is authenticated by a RADIUS server, that server may encode a Session‐Timeout Attribute in its authentication response.

Example

This example sets the session timeout value for the IEEE 802.1X authentication method to 300 seconds.
