4.6.1.8 Number of Requests to RADIUS Server
After 802.1x authentication configured as explained above and the user tries to connect
with the port, the process of authentication is progressed among user’s PC and the
equipment as authenticator and RADIUS server. It is possible to configure how many
times the device which will be authenticator requests for authentication to RADIUS server.
To configure times of authentication request in the V5808, use the following command.
dot1x radius-server retries <1-
10>
Configure times of authentication request to RADIUS
server.
1-10: retry number (default: 3)
4.6.1.9 Interval of Request to RADIUS Server
For the V5808, it is possible to set the time for the retransmission of packets to check
RADIUS server. If there is a response from other packets, the switch waits for a response
from RADIUS server during the configured time before resending the request.
dot1x radius-server timeout <1-
120>
Configures the interval of request to RADIUS server.
1-120: interval (default: 1)
You should consider the distance from the server for configuring the interval of requesting
the authentication to RADIUS server. If you configure the interval too short, the
authentication could not be realized. If it happens, you had better to reconfigure the
interval longer.
4.6.2 802.1x Re-Authentication
In the V5808, it is possible to update the authentication status on the port periodically. To
enable re-authentication on the port, you should perform the below procedure:
Step 1 Enable 802.1x re-authentication.
Step 2 Configure the interval of re-authentication.
Step 3 Configure the interval of requesting re-authentication in case of re-authentication fails.
Step 4 Execute 802.1x re-authenticating regardless of the interval.
4.6.2.1 Enabling 802.1x Re-Authentication
To enable 802.1x re-authentication using the following command.
dot1x reauth-enable PORTS
Enables 802.1x re-authentication.
no dot1x reauth-enable PORTS
Disables 802.1x re-authentication.
