Configuring the AP

2.Configure the EAP-TLS authentication settings as required:

EAP-TLS/RADIUSWhen enabled, the access point assumes the role of authenticator. The access point proxies the MU’s requests to authenticate with the EAP server. Default is Disabled.

Quiet Period The time the access point waits before attempting to acquire an MU. Default is 60 seconds.

Tx Period

Defines the length of time the access points waits

 

for an MU’s response once the access point

 

requests an MUs identity. Default is 30 seconds.

Re-authentication

When enabled, the access point forces the MU to

 

re-authenticate after the re-authentication period.

 

Default is Enabled.

Re-auth Period

Defines the length of time a MU is waits before

 

initiating re-authentication attempts.

 

Default is 3600 seconds.

Re-auth Max

Defines the number of MU re-authentications

 

attempts permitted. Default is 2. If exceeded, the

 

access point fails MU re-authentication.

Supplicant

Time permitted for a response from the

authenticating MU. Default is 30 seconds.

Server Timeout

Time permitted for a response from the EAP-TLS

 

authentication server. Default is 30 seconds.

Max Req Retries

Defines the maximum number of times an access

 

point re-transmits an EAP request. Default is 2.
