Authentication Failure Timeout – After authentication fails, the 802.1x state
machine enters a quiet period specified by this value, during which the
authenticator will make no attempt to acquire the supplicant. The value can be
between 1-65535 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Client Retry Count – Sets the maximum number of attempts the switch will
make to authenticate a supplicant. The value can be between 0 and 10. The
default value is 3.
Server Retry Count – Specifies the number of attempts the switch may make
to obtain authentication from the server after an initial attempt times out. The
value can be between 0 and 3. The default value is 2.
Enable Reauthentication – Forces supplicants to reauthenticate after the
reauthentication time interval has elapsed since the last authentication. Unicast
keys are updated after each reauthentication. The default is disabled.
Reauthentication Time Interval – If reauthentication is enabled, specifies the
time interval since the last successful authentication after which the client will
be forced to reauthenticate. The value can be between 1 and 4,294,967,295
seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds.
Enable Multicast Key Rotation – Enables periodic rotation of multicast
encryption keys. Multicast keys are used to encrypt broadcast and multicast
frames that must be sent to all wireless clients. The default is disabled.
Multicast Key Rotation Time Interval – When multicast key rotation is
enabled, specifies the amount of time that must elapse since the last key
rotation until a new multicast key rotation is done. The value can be between 1
and 4,294,967,295 seconds. The default value is 1200 seconds.
Enable Unicast Key Rotation – Enables periodic rotation of unicast encryption
keys. The default is disabled.
Unicast Key Rotation Time Interval – When unicast key rotation is enabled,
specifies the amount of time that must elapse since the last key rotation until a
new unicast key rotation is done. The value can be between 1 and
4,294,967,295 seconds. The default value is 240 seconds.
Reset 802.1x Parameters to Factory Defaults – Check this box to reset all
802.1x settings back to default values. The equivalent CLI configuration
command is “dot1x default”.
Authentication Failure Threshold for Station Blacklisting – If a station fails
802.1x authentication by this number of times in a row, the station will be
“blacklisted” and will not be allowed to associate to the network. Enter 0 to
disable blacklisting.
