set dot1x bonded-period
Changes the Bonded Auth™ (bonded authentication) period. The Bonded Auth period is the
number of seconds MSS 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.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS 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.
Trapeze Networks recommends that you try 60 seconds, and change the period to a longer value
only if clients are unable to authenticate within 60 seconds.
The bonded authentication period applies only to 802.1X authentication rules that contain the
bonded option.
Examples To set the bonded authentication period to 60 seconds, type the following command:
MX# set dot1x bonded-period 60
success: change accepted.

History Introduced in MSS 1.0.
