SGSW-24040 / SGSW-24040R

 

The stackswitch is "born" with a pool of state-machines, from which all ports draw

 

whenever a new client is seen on the port. When a given port's maximum is

 

reached (both authorized and unauthorized clients count), further new clients are

 

disallowed access. Since all ports draw from the same pool, it may happen that a

 

configured maximum cannot be granted, if the remaining ports have already used

 

all available state-machines.

 

 

Restart

Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when

 

authentication is globally enabled and the port's Admin State is "Auto" or

 

"MAC-Based".

 

Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take effect.

 

Reauthenticate: Schedules a reauthentication to whenever the

 

quiet-period of the port runs out (port-based authentication). For

 

MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be attempted immediately.

 

The button only has effect for successfully authenticated ports/clients and will not

 

cause the port/client to get temporarily unauthorized.

 

Reinitialize: Forces a reinitialization of the port/clients and thereby a

 

reauthentication immediately. The port/clients will transfer to the

 

unauthorized state while the reauthentication is ongoing.
