Configuring Device Security Defining 802.1X 4 • Reauthentication Period - Specifies the number of seconds in which the selected port is reauthenticated (Range: 300-4294967295). The field default is 3600 seconds. • Authenticator State - Specifies the port authorization state. The possible field values are as follows: - ForceAuthorized - Indicates the controlled port state is set to Force- Authorized (forward traffic). - ForceUnauthorized - Indicates the controlled port state is set to Force- Unauthorized (discard traffic). - Initialize - Enables port-based authentication on the device. The interface moves between an authorized or unauthorized state based on the authentication exchange between the device and the client. • Quiet Period - Specifies the number of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state following a failed authentication exchange (Range: 0-65535). • Resending EAP - Specifies the number of seconds that the switch waits for a response to an EAP - request/identity frame, from the supplicant (client), before resending the request. • Max EAP Requests - Indicates the total amount of EAP requests sent. If a response is not received after the defined period, the authentication process is restarted. The field default is 2 retries. • Supplicant Timeout - Displays the number of seconds that lapses before EAP requests are resent to the supplicant (Range: 1-65535). The field default is 30 seconds. • Server Timeout - Specifies the number of seconds that lapses before the switch resends a request to the authentication server (Range: 1-65535). The field default is 30 seconds. • Termination Cause - Indicates the reason for which the port authentication was terminated. STEP 2 Define the relevant fields. STEP 3 Click Apply. The 802.1X port authentication settings are defined, and the device is updated. Cisco Small Business SFE/SGE Managed Switches Administration Guide 84
