If the authentication server has assigned a VLAN before re-authentication, it must also assign a VLAN at re-authentication. If the authentication server has assigned no VLAN before re-authentication, it must not assign one at re-authentication. Violation of either rule can cause the user to be logged off. The VLANs assigned to an online user before and after re-authentication can be the same or different. • If no critical VLAN is configured, RADIUS server unreachable can cause an online user being re-authenticated to be logged off. If a critical VLAN is configured, the user remains online and in the original VLAN. Configuration procedure To enable the periodic online user re-authentication function: Step Command 1.

authorization attributes assigned by the server, such as the ACL, VLAN, and user profile-based QoS. The
re-authentication interval is user configurable.
Configuration guidelines
The periodic online user re-authentication timer can also be set by the authentication server in the

and enables periodic online user re-authentication, even if the function is not configured. Support
