Figure 4.81 – AAA > 802.1X > 802.1X Settings
802.1X: By default, 802.1X is disabled. To use EAP for security, click Enabled and set the 802.1X Global
Settings. To establish 802.1X port-specific assignments, click Enabled and configure 802.1X Port Access
Control.
802.1X Global Settings:
QuietPeriod (0 – 65535 sec): Sets the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange with the client. Default is 60 seconds.
ServerTimeout (1 – 65535 sec): Sets the amount of time the switch waits for a response from the client
before resending the response to the authentication server. Default is 30 seconds.
TxPeriod (1 – 65535 sec): This sets the TxPeriod of time for the authenticator PAE state machine. This
value determines the period of an EAP Request/Identity packet transmitted to the client. Default is 30
seconds.
ReAuthEnabled: This function is to determine whether regular re-authentication will take place on this
port(s). When the 802.1X function is enabled, the switch sends an EAP-request/identity packet to client. The
ReAuthEnabled function is disabled by default.
SuppTimeout (1 – 65535 sec): This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the
Authenticator and the client. Default is 30 seconds.
MaxReq (1 – 10): This parameter specifies the maximum number of times that the switch retransmits an
EAP request (md-5challnege) to the client before it times out the authentication session. Default is 2 times.
ReAuthPeriod (1 – 4294967295 sec): This command affects the behavior of the switch only if periodic re-
authentication is enabled. Default is 3600.
Forward EAPOL PDU: This is a global setting to control the forwarding of EAPOL PDU. The default state is
Disabled.
802.1X Port Access Control:
From Port / To Port: A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Control: Three type of Port Access Control State can be Force Authorized, Auto and Force UnAuthorized.
Force Authorized - Select to disable 802.1X and cause the port to transition to the authorized state
without any authentication exchange required. This means the port transmits and receives normal
traffic without 802.1X-based authentication of the client. This is the default setting.
