If the authentication server does not respond to the switch, and if an AAA fail policy is configured,
the switch applies the failure access policy to the host. The login success page is sent to the user.
(See the "Local Web Authentication Banner" section on page
The switch reauthenticates a client when the host does not respond to an ARP probe on a Layer 2
interface, or when the host does not send any traffic within the idle timeout on a Layer 3 interface.
The feature applies the downloaded timeout or the locally configured session timeout.
If the terminate action is RADIUS, the feature sends a nonresponsive host (NRH) request to the
server. The terminate action is included in the response from the server.
If the terminate action is default, the session is dismantled, and the applied policy is removed.
