Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
– 260 –
The maximum number of secure MAC addresses supported for the switch
system is 1024.
◆ Reauthentication Time – Sets the time period after which the switch removes
an authenticated MAC address from the secure table. When the
reauthentication time expires for a secure MAC address, it is removed from the
secure MAC address table, and the switch will only perform the authentication
process the next time it receives the MAC address packet. (Range: 120-1000000
seconds; Default: 1800 seconds)
Web Interface

authentication:
1. Click Security, Network Access.
2. Select Configure Global from the Step list.
3. Enable or disable aging for secure addresses, and modify the reauthentication
time as required.
4. Click Apply.
