Configuring Web Authentication
Web authentication is configured on a per-port basis, however there are four configurable
parameters that apply globally to all ports on the switch.
Command Attributes
• System Authentication Control – Enables Web Authentication for the switch. (Default:
Disabled)
• Session Timeout – Configures how long an authenticated session stays active before
it must be re-authenticated. (Range: 300-3600 seconds; Default: 3600 seconds)
• Quiet Period – Configures how long a host must wait to attempt authentication again
after it has exceeded the maximum allowable failed login attempts. (Range: 1-180
seconds; Default: 60 seconds)
• Login Attempts – Configures the number of times a supplicant may attempt and fail
authentication before it must wait the configured quiet period. (Range: 1-3 attempts;
Default: 3 attempts)
