Reauthentication Period Enter a time period. When the time is up, the host shall return
to initial state and prepare to pass authentication procedure
again. Default is 3600 seconds.
Inactivate Timeout When there is no packet coming from the authenticated host,
the system will start the inactive timer. After inactive
timeout, the host will be unauthorized and corresponding
session will be deleted. In Multiple Hosts mode (configured in
802.1X/MAC Authenticaion>>Properties>>Port Authentication
Setting), the packet is counted on the authorized host only and
not all packets on the port.
Quiet Period When a GE port is disabled just because authentication fails
several times, the host connected to that port will be blocked
for a period of time configured in quiet period.
Later, after the time period set in this field, the host wll be
allowed to perform authentication again.
