mode force- unauthautoforce- auth

Sets the type of access control for all ports:

force-unauth- the port is unauthorized unconditionally.

auto - the port is unauthorized until it is successfully authorized by the RADIUS server.

 

force-auth- the port is authorized unconditionally, allowing all traffic.

 

The default value is force-auth.

 

 

qtperiod <0-65535>

Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits before transmitting an EAP-

 

Request/ Identity frame to the supplicant (client) after an authentication failure in

 

the previous round of authentication. The default value is 60 seconds.

 

 

txperiod <1-65535>

Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for an EAP-Response/Identity

 

frame from the supplicant (client) before retransmitting an EAP-Request/Identity

 

frame. The default value is 30 seconds.

 

 

suptmout <1-65535>

Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for an EAP-Response packet

 

from the supplicant (client) before retransmitting the EAP-Request packet from the

 

authentication server. The default value is 30 seconds.

 

 

svrtmout <1-65535>

Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for a response from the Radius

 

server before declaring an authentication timeout. The default value is 30

 

seconds.

 

The time interval between transmissions of the RADIUS Access-Request packet

 

containing the supplicant’s (client’s) EAP-Response packet is determined by the

 

current setting of /cfg/sys/radius/timeout (default is 3 seconds).

 

 

maxreq <1-10>

Sets the maximum number of times the authenticator retransmits an EAP-Request

 

packet to the supplicant (client). The default value is 2.

 

 

raperiod <1-604800>

Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits before re-authenticating a

 

supplicant (client) when periodic re-authentication is enabled. The default value

 

is 3600 seconds.

 

 

reauth onoff

Sets the re-authentication status to on or off. The default value is off.
