24-Port Managed Gigabit Switch

Reauthenticate: Schedules a reauthentication to whenever
the quiet-period of the port runs out.
Reinitialize: Bypasses the quiet-period of the port and enables
immediate reauthentication regardless of the status for the
quiet-period.
The reason for a “quiet-period” follows: If a reauthentication
fails, the IEEE 802.1X standard enforces a so-called
“quiet-period” in which the authenticator (switch) shall be quiet
and not retry another authentication. Also packets from the
supplicant are discarded, thus preventing “brute-force” attacks.
