Description
System Configuration
Mode
Indicates if NAS is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, all
ports are allowed forwarding of frames.
Reauthentication
Enabled
If checked, successfully authenticated supplicants/clients are reauthenticated after
the interval specified by the Reauthentication Period. Reauthentication for
802.1X-enabled ports can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a switch
port or if a supplicant is no longer attached.
For MAC-based ports, reauthentication is only useful if the RADIUS server
configuration has changed. It does not involve communication between the switch
and the client, and therefore doesn't imply that a client is still present on a port (see
Aging Period below).
Reauthentication Period
Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected client must be
reauthenticated. This is only active if the Reauthentication Enabled checkbox is
checked. Valid values are in the range 1 to 3600 seconds.
EAPOL Timeout
Determines the time for retransmission of Request Identity EAPOL frames.
Valid values are in the range 1 to 65535 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-based
ports.
Aging Period
This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using the Port Security
functionality to secure MAC addresses:
• Single 802.1X
