7. Select the Accounting tab as required to define a timeout period and retry interval Syslog
for MUs interoperating with the access point and EAP authentication server. The items

Server Address Specify the IP address of the external Radius server used to provide
Radius accounting.
External Radius Port Specify the port on which the Radius server is listening. The default
port is 1813.
External Radius
Shared Secret Specify a shared secret for authentication. The shared secret is
required to match the shared secret on the Radius server.
MU Timeout Specify the time (in seconds) for the access point’s retransmission
of EAP-Request packets. The default is 10 seconds. If this time is
exceeded, the authentication session is terminated.
Retries Specify the number of retries for the MU to retransmit a missed
frame to the Radius server before it times out of the authentication
session. The default is 2 retries.

syslog messages relating to EAP events to be written to the

Reauthentication Select the Enable Reauthentication checkbox to configure a
wireless connection policy so MUs are forced to reauthenticate
periodically. Periodic repetition of the EAP process provides
ongoing security for current authorized connections.
Period (30-9999) secs Set the EAP reauthentication period to a shorter interval for tighter
security on the WLAN's connections. Set the EAP reauthentication
period to a longer time interval (at most, 9999 seconds) to relax
security on wireless connections. The default interval of 3600
seconds is recommended.
