force authorized: The authenticator PAE unconditionally sets the controlled port to
authorized.
auto: The authenticator PAE sets the controlled port mode to reflect the outcome of
the authentication exchanges between the supplicant, authenticator, and the
authentication server.
Quiet Period - This input field allows the user to configure the quiet period for the selected
port. This command sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state
machine on this port to define periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a
supplicant. The quiet period is the period for which the authenticator does not attempt to
acquire a supplicant after a failed authentication exchange with the supplicant. The quiet
period must be a number in the range of 0 and 65535. A quiet period value of 0 means that
the authenticator state machine will never acquire a supplicant. The default value is 60.
Changing the value will not change the configuration until the Submit button is pressed.
Transmit Period - This input field allows the user to configure the transmit period for the
selected port. The transmit period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the
authenticator state machine on the specified port to determine when to send an EAPOL
EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant. The transmit period must be a number in the
range of 1 and 65535. The default value is 30. Changing the value will not change the
configuration until the Submit button is pressed.
Supplicant Timeout - This input field allows the user to enter the supplicant timeout for the
selected port. The supplicant timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the
authenticator state machine on this port to timeout the supplicant. The supplicant timeout
must be a value in the range of 1 and 65535. The default value is 30. Changing the value
will not change the configuration until the Submit button is pressed.
Server Timeout - This input field allows the user to enter the server timeout for the selected
port. The server timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator on
this port to timeout the authentication server. The server timeout must be a value in the
range of 1 and 65535. The default value is 30. Changing the value will not change the
configuration until the Submit button is pressed.
Maximum Requests - This input field allows the user to enter the maximum requests for
the selected port. The maximum requests value is the maximum number of times the
authenticator state machine on this port will retransmit an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity
before timing out the supplicant. The maximum requests value must be in the range of 1
and 10. The default value is 2. Changing the value will not change the configuration until the
Submit button is pressed.
Reauthentication Period - This input field allows the user to enter the reauthentication
period for the selected port. The reauthentication period is the value, in seconds, of the
timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port to determine when
