802.1X Commands
OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009 page 44-3
re-authperiod seconds The amount of time that must expire before the switch requires re-
authentication of the Supplicant on this port. Only applicable when re-
authentication is enabled.
reauthentication Specifies that the port will be reauthenticated after the re-authperiod
timer expires.
no reauthentication Specifies that the port will not be reauthenticated unless the
802.1x re-authenticate command is entered.

OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• To set the port to accept any traffic without requiring 802.1X authentication, use the force-
authorized option.
• Use the vlan port 802.1x command with the disable option to disable 802.1X authentication on the
port.
• Before any device is authenticated through an 802.1X port, the port will only process 802.1X frames
(EAPoL frames) from an unknown source.
• Note that multiple devices can be authenticated on a given 802.1X port. Each device MAC address
received on the port is authenticated and learned separately. Only those that authenticate successfully
are allowed on the port, as described above. Those that fail authentication are blocked from accessing
the 802.1X port.
