802.1x reauthenticate slot/port
Syntax Definitions
slot/port The slot and port number of the 802.1x port.
Defaults
By default, 802.1X ports are not configured for periodic re-authentication. Use the 802.1x re-authenti-
cate command to force a re-authentication.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• This command forces a port to be re-authenticated, regardless of the re-authentication setting config-
ured for the 802.1x command.
• Re-authentication is transparent to the user. It does not affect traffic on the port unless there is a prob-
lem with the physical device connected to the port. The re-authentication mechanism verifies that there
is a device connected to the port, and that the authentication exchange is still valid.
Examples
-> 802.1x reauthenticate 3/1
