658 Managing 802.1X on the WSS
NN47250-500 (Version 03.01)

Setting the 802.1X reauthentication period

The following command configures the number of seconds that the WSS waits before attempting
reauthentication:
set dot1x reauth-period seconds
The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour). The range is from 60 to 1,641,600 seconds (19 days). This value can be
overridden by user authorization parameters.
WSS Software reauthenticates dynamic WEP clients based on the reauthentication timer. WSS Software also
reauthenticates WPA clients if the clients use the WEP-40 or WEP-104 cipher. For each dynamic WEP client
or WPA client using a WEP cipher, the reauthentication timer is set to the lesser of the global setting or the
value returned by the AAA server with the rest of the authorization attributes for that client.
For example, type the following command to set the number of seconds to 100 before reauthentication is
attempted:
WSS# set dot1x reauth-period 100
success: dot1x auth-server timeout set to 100.
Type the following command to reset the default timeout period:
WSS# clear dot1x reauth-period
success: change accepted.
