Syntax: aaa port-access web-based <port-list> [logoff-period]<60-9999999>]

Specifies the period, in seconds, that the switch enforces for an implicit logoff. This parameter is equivalent to the MAC age interval in a traditional switch sense. If the switch does not see activity after a logoff-period interval, the client is returned to its pre- authentication state. (Default: 300 seconds)

Syntax: aaa port-access web-based <port-list> [max-requests <1-10>]

Specifies the number of authentication attempts that must time-out before authentication fails.

(Default: 2)

Syntax: aaa port-access web-based <port-list> [max-retries <1-10>]

Specifies the number of the number of times a client can enter their user name and password before authentication fails. This allows the reentry of the user name and password if necessary.

(Default: 3)

Syntax: aaa port-access web-based <port-list> [quiet-period <1 - 65535>]

Specifies the time period (in seconds) the switch uses before sending an authentication request for a client that failed authentication. (Default: 60 seconds)
