set dot1x bonded-period

Changes the Bonded Auth™ (bonded authentication) period. The Bonded Auth period is the number of seconds WSS Software allows a Bonded Auth user to reauthenticate.

Syntax set dot1x bonded-period seconds

seconds	Number of seconds WSS Software retains session information for an
	authenticated machine while waiting for a client to (re)authenticate on the
	same machine. You can change the bonded authentication period to a
	value from 1 to 300 seconds.

Defaults The default bonded period is 0 seconds, which disables the feature. Access Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Software 2.1.

Usage Normally, the Bonded Auth period needs to be set only if the network has Bonded Auth clients that use dynamic WEP, or use WEP-40 or WEP-104 encryption with WPA or RSN. These clients can be affected by the 802.1X reauthentication parameter or the RADIUS Session-Timeout parameter.
