Network Access (MAC Address Authentication)
– 302 –
Authenticated MAC addresses are stored as dynamic entries in the switch’s
secure MAC address table and are removed when the aging time expires.
The maximum number of secure MAC addresses supported for the switch
system is 1024.
◆ Reauthentication Time – Sets the time period after which a connected host
must be reauthenticated. When the reauthentication time expires for a secure
MAC address, it is reauthenticated with the RADIUS server. During the
reauthentication process traffic through the port remains unaffected.
(Range: 120-1000000 seconds; Default: 1800 seconds)
