Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
– 310 –
secure MAC addresses authenticated by 802.1X, regardless of the 802.1X
Operation Mode (Single-Host, Multi-Host, or MAC-Based authentication as
described on page 363).
Authenticated MAC addresses are stored as dynamic entries in the switch’s
secure MAC address table and are removed when the aging time expires.
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 autthenticated 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)
