Configuring The Quiet Timer; Enabling The Periodic Online User Re-Authentication Function - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Configuring the quiet timer

The quiet timer enables the network access device to wait a period of time before it can process any
authentication request from a client that has failed an 802.1X authentication.
You can set the quiet timer to a high value in a vulnerable network or a low value for quicker
authentication response.
To configure the quiet timer:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable the quiet timer.
3. (Optional.) Set the quiet timer.
Enabling the periodic online user re-authentication
function
Periodic online user re-authentication tracks the connection status of online users, and updates the
authorization attributes assigned by the server. The re-authentication interval is user configurable.
The periodic online user re-authentication timer can also be set by the authentication server in the
session-timeout attribute. The server-assigned timer overrides the timer setting on the access device, and
enables periodic online user re-authentication, even if the function is not configured. Support for the
server assignment of re-authentication timer and the re-authentication timer configuration on the server
vary with servers.
To enable the periodic online user re-authentication function:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. (Optional.) Set the periodic
re-authentication timer.
3. Enter Ethernet interface view.
4. Enable periodic online user
re-authentication.
