and the authentication server. Each client that attempts to access the
network is uniquely identified by the switch using the client's MAC
address. This is the default setting.

Force-authorized - Disables IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication
and causes the port to transition to the authorized state without any
authentication exchange required. The port transmits and receives
normal traffic without 802.1x-based authentication of the client.

Force-unauthorized - Causes the port to remain in the unauthorized
state, ignoring all attempts by the client to authenticate. The switch
cannot provide authentication services to the client through the
interface

Max Requests
Specifies the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an
EAP Request packet to the client before it times out the authentication
session. The default value for this parameter is 2 retransmissions. The
range is 1 to 10 retransmissions.

TX Period
Sets the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before retransmitting the
request. The default value is 30 seconds. The range is 1 to 65,535
seconds.

Quiet Period
Sets the number of seconds that the port remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. The default
value is 60 seconds. The range is 0 to 65,535 seconds.

Reauth Enabled
Controls whether the client must periodically reauthenticate. The
default setting of enabled requires the client to periodically
reauthenticate. The time period between reauthentications is set with
the Reauth Period option. If this parameter is set to disabled, the client
is not required to reauthenticate after the initial authentication, unless
there is a change to the status of the link between the supplicant and
the switch or the switch is reset or power cycled. The options are
Enabled or Disabled. The default is Enabled.

Reauth Period
Enables periodic reauthentication of the client, which is disabled by
default. The Reauth Enabled option must be set to Enabled for this
parameter to be operational. The default value is 3600 seconds. The
range is 1 to 65,535 seconds.

Supplicant Timeout
Sets the switch-to-client retransmission time for the EAP-request
frame. The default value for this parameter is 30 seconds. The range is
1 to 600 seconds.
