Network Access Server Configuration Parameters:
Indicates if NAS is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, all ports are
allowed forwarding of frames.
Re Authentication
Enabled
If checked, successfully authenticated supplicants/clients are Re Authenticated after the
interval specified by the Re Authentication Period. Re Authentication for 802.1X-enabled ports
can be used to detect if a new device is plugged into a switch port or if a supplicant is no
longer attached.
For MAC-based ports, re authentication is only useful if the RADIUS server configuration
has changed. It does not involve communication between the switch and the client, and
therefore doesn't imply that a client is still present on a port (see Aging Period below).
Determines the period, in seconds, after which a connected client must be Re Authenticated.
This is only active if the Re Authentication Enabled checkbox is checked. Valid values are in
the range 1 to 3600 seconds.
Determines the time for retransmission of Request Identity EAPOL frames. Valid values are in
the range of 1 to 255 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-based ports.
