the supplicant. The transmit period range is 1 to 65535.
Supplicant Timeout (secs)
Displays the configured 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.
Server Timeout (secs)
Displays the configured 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.
Maximum Requests
Displays the configured 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 value range is 1 to 10.
Reauthentication Period (secs)
Displays the configured 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 value range is 1 to 65535.
Reauthentication Enabled
Indicates whether reauthentication is enabled on the selected port. If you select the value true reauthentication will occur. Otherwise, reauthentication will not be allowed.
Control Direction
Displays the control direction for the specified port. The control direction dictates the degree to which protocol exchanges take place between supplicant and authenticator. This affects whether the controlled port exerts control over communication in both directions (disabling both incoming and outgoing frames) or just incoming (disabling only the reception of incoming frames). This field is not configurable on some platforms.
Protocol Version
Displays the protocol version associated with the selected port. The only possible value is 1, corresponding to the first version of the IEE 802.1X specification.
PAE Capabilities
Displays the PAE functionality of the selected port. Possible values are
Authenticator or Supplicant.
Authenticator PAE State
Displays the current state of the authenticator PAE state machine. Possible values are:
•Initialize
•Disconnected
•Connecting
•Authenticating
•Authenticated
