set dot1x reauth-period
Sets the number of seconds that must elapse before the MX switch attempts reauthentication.
Syntax
set dot1x reauth-period seconds
Defaults
The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
Access
Enabled.
History
Usage
You also can use the RADIUS session-timeout attribute to set the reauthentication
timeout for a specific client. In this case, MSS uses the timeout that has the lower value. If the
session-timeout is set to fewer seconds than the global reauthentication timeout, MSS uses the
session-timeout for the client. However, if the global reauthentication timeout is shorter than the
session-timeout, MSS uses the global timeout instead.
Examples
Type the following command to set the number of seconds to 100 before
reauthentication is attempted:
MX# set dot1x reauth-period 100
success: dot1x auth-server timeout set to 100.
