Transmit Period (secs)
Configures the transmit period for the selected port. The transmit period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on the specified port to determine when to send an Extensible Authentication Protocol Over LAN (EAPOL) EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant. The transmit period range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 30.
Supplicant Timeout (secs)
Specify the supplicant timeout for the selected port. The supplicant timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to timeout the supplicant. The supplicant timeout range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 30. Changing the value will not change the configuration until the Apply button is clicked.
Server Timeout (secs)
Specify the server timeout for the selected port. The server timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator on this port to timeout the authentication server. The server timeout range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 30.
Maximum Requests
Specify the maximum requests for the selected port. The maximum requests value is the maximum number of times the authenticator state machine on this port will retransmit an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity before timing out the supplicant. The maximum requests range is 1 to 10. The default value is 2.
Reauthentication Period (secs)
Specify the reauthentication period for the selected port. The reauthentication period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to determine when reauthentication of the supplicant takes place. The reauthentication period range is 1 to 65535. The default value is 3600.
Reauthentication Enabled
Enable or Disable the reauthentication of the supplicant for the specified port. If the value true is selected reauthentication will occur. Otherwise, reauthentication will not be allowed. The default value is false.
Click the Initialize button to begin the initialization sequence on the selected port. This button is only selectable if the control mode is auto. If the button is not selectable, it will be grayed out. Once you click this button the action is immediate and you will not need to press the Apply button for the action to occur.
Click the Reauthenticate button to begin the reauthentication sequence on the selected port. This button is only selectable if the control mode is auto. If the button is not selectable, it will be grayed out. Once you click this button the action is immediate and you will not need to press the Apply button for the action to occur.
Click the Refresh button to update the information on the page.
Click the Apply button to send the updated screen to the switch and cause the changes to take effect on the switch. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle you must perform a save.
