When the change is applied
The change is applied immediately after setting values are changed.
Notes
1. All MAC-based authentication settings take effect when the mac-authentication
system-auth-control command is set.
2. See Table 24-1 Configuration commands and MAC-based authentication modes for
the authentication mode in which the command's settings are operable.
3. If the value for the maximum connection time is decreased or increased, the
previous setting is applied to terminal that is currently authenticated, and the setting
values take effect only from the next login.
4. The connection time for MAC-based authentication does not use the time of a Switch.
Accordingly, if the date and time is changed by using the
set clock operation
command, the connection time is not affected.
