set dot1x bonded-period
Changes the Bonded Auth™ (bonded authentication) period. The Bonded Auth period is the number of seconds WSS
Software allows a Bonded Auth user to reauthenticate.
Syntax set dot1x bonded-period seconds
Defaults The default bonded period is 0 seconds, which disables the feature.

History Introduced in WSS Software 2.1.
Usage Normally, the Bonded Auth period needs to be set only if the network has Bonded Auth clients that
use dynamic WEP, or use WEP-40 or WEP-104 encryption with WPA or RSN. These clients can be affected
by the 802.1X reauthentication parameter or the RADIUS Session-Timeout parameter.
enable Allows all wired authentication ports running 802.1X to use the
authentication specified per port by the set dot1X port-control
command.
disable Forces all wired authentication ports running 802.1X to unconditionally
accept all 802.1X authentication attempts with an EAP Success message
(ForceAuth).
seconds Number of seconds WSS Software retains session information for an
authenticated machine while waiting for a client to (re)authenticate on the
same machine. You can change the bonded authentication period to a
value from 1 to 300 seconds.
