the value "Specific" from the list-box opens up for entering a specific number of
maximum clients on the port (1 to 104).
The stackswitch is "born" with a pool of state-machines, from which all ports draw
whenever a new client is seen on the port. When a given port's maximum is
reached (both authorized and unauthorized clients count), further new clients are
disallowed access. Since all ports draw from the same pool, it may happen that a
configured maximum cannot be granted, if the remaining ports have already used
all available state-machines.
• Restart
Two buttons are available for each row. The buttons are only enabled when
authentication is globally enabled and the port's Admin State is "Auto" or
"MAC-Based".
Clicking these buttons will not cause settings changed on the page to take effect.
• Reauthenticate: Schedules a reauthentication to whenever the
quiet-period of the port runs out (port-based authentication). For
MAC-based authentication, reauthentication will be attempted immediately.
The button only has effect for successfully authenticated ports/clients and will not
cause the port/client to get temporarily unauthorized.
• Reinitialize: Forces a reinitialization of the port/clients and thereby a
reauthentication immediately. The port/clients will transfer to the
unauthorized state while the reauthentication is ongoing.
