Setting the 802.1X Reauthentication Period The following command configures the number of seconds that the switch waits before attempting reauthentication: set dot1x reauth-period seconds The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour). The range is from 60 to 1,641,600 seconds (19 days). This value can be overridden by user authorization parameters. MSS reauthenticates dynamic WEP clients based on the reauthentication timer. MSS also reauthenticates WPA clients if the clients use the WEP-40 or WEP-104 cipher. For each dynamic WEP client or WPA client using a WEP cipher, the reauthentication timer is set to the lesser of the global setting or the value returned by the AAA server with the rest of the authorization attributes for that client. For example, type the following command to set the number of seconds to 100 before reauthentication is attempted: DWS-1008# set dot1x reauth-period 100 success: dot1x auth-server timeout set to 100. Type the following command to reset the default timeout period: DWS-1008# clear dot1x reauth-period success: change accepted. Setting the Bonded Authentication Period The following command sets the Bonded Auth™ (bonded authentication) period, which is the number of seconds MSS retains session information for an authenticated machine while waiting for the 802.1X client on the machine to start (re)authentication for the user. Normally, the Bonded Auth period needs to be set only if the network has Bonded Auth clients that use dynamic WEP, or use WEP-40 or WEP-104 encryption with WPA or RSN. These clients can be affected by the 802.1X reauthentication parameter or the RADIUS Session-Timeout parameter. To set the Bonded Auth period, use the following command: set dot1x bonded-period seconds The Bonded Auth period applies only to 802.1X authentication rules that contain the bonded option. To reset the Bonded Auth period to its default value, use the following command: clear dot1x max-req D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual 353
