| Chapter 18 Port Authentication |
| Table 46 Advanced Application > Port Authentication > MAC Authentication | |
| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| Timeout | Specify the amount of time before the Switch allows a client MAC |
|
| address that fails authentication to try and authenticate again. Maximum |
|
| time is 3000 seconds. |
|
| When a client fails MAC authentication, its MAC address is learned by the |
|
| MAC address table with a status of denied. The timeout period you |
|
| specify here is the time the MAC address entry stays in the MAC address |
|
| table until it is cleared. If you specify 0 for the timeout value, then this |
|
| entry will not be deleted from the MAC address table. |
|
| Note: If the Aging Time in the Switch Setup screen is set to a |
|
| lower value, then it supersedes this setting. See Section 8.5 |

|
| volatile memory when you are done configuring. |
