Enabling Timing Re-Authentication - D-Link xStack DGS-3610 Series Configuration Manual

DGS-3610 Series Configuration Guide
Command
dot1x port-control auto
end
write
show dot1x port-control
You can use the no dot1x port-control command to disable the authentication of the
interface. The following example sets Ethernet interface 1/1 to be a controlled interface:
DGS-3610# configure terminal
DGS-3610(config)# interface f 1/1
DGS-3610(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto
DGS-3610(config)# end
When a port is set as a controlled port, only the EAP packets are allowed to pass; the
packets to the CPU are also under control.

Enabling Timing Re-authentication

The 802.1X can ask users for re-authentication periodically, to prevent pretending of
authorized users. This can also detect disconnection, making more accurate charging. In
addition to the re-authentication switch, you can also define the re-authentication interval,
which is 3600 seconds by default. In the case of charging based on duration, you should
determine the re-authentication interval according to the specific network size, which should
be sufficient and accurate.
In the privileged mode, you can enable/disable re-authentication and set the
re-authentication interval through the following steps.
Command
configure terminal
dot1x re-authentication
dot1x timeout re-authperiod seconds
End
Write
show dot1x
You can use the no dot1x re-authentication command to disable timing re-authentication,
and use the no dot1x timeout re-authperiod command to restore the re-authentication
interval to the default.
