re-authentication.

command is set.
2. See Table 22-1 Configuration commands and IEEE 802.1X authentication modes for
the authentication mode in which the command's settings are operable.
3. This command takes effect only if the
dot1x port-control command has been set.
4. This command takes effect only if re-authentication has been set by using the
dot1x
reauthentication command.
5. For the parameter, set a value greater than the value set by using the
dot1x
timeout tx-period command.
