WM Access Domain Services Configuration
A client that exceeds either the pre-timeout or post-timeout value will be forced to disassociate.
The session timer defines the maximum amount of time a session is allowed to be connected to the
system. The session timer is particularly useful in pay-per-use models. When the lifetime of the session
reaches the defined limit, the session is expired and cleaned up. A user would have to re-authenticate
with the system to continue to receive network services.
NOTE
The WM-AD timeout parameters define the default timers applicable to session management within the WM-AD.
However, RADIUS authentication (access-accept) may return specific timers applicable to the particular user. A
RADIUS returned value overwrites the WM-AD default values for the specific user.
In addition, a zero (0) value for any of the timers indicates a non-applicable value. Therefor, the corresponding timer
is not enforced.
To define the session timeout parameters for a WM-AD:
1 From the main menu, click WM-AD Configuration. The WM-AD Configuration screen is
displayed.
2 In the left pane WM Access Domains list, click the WM-AD you want to define the session timeout
parameters for. The Topology tab is displayed.
3 In the Idle (pre) box, type the number of minutes that a client is allowed to be idle on the WM-AD
before authentication.
4 In the Idle (post) box, type the number of minutes that a client is allowed to be idle on the WM-AD
after authentication.
5 In the Session box, type the maximum time limit of a session. If you do not provide a Session value,
there is no time limit.
Enabling Management Traffic
If management traffic is enabled for a WM-AD, it overrides the built-in exception filters that prohibit
traffic on the Summit WM Controller data interfaces. For more information, see
