Setting The Maximum Number Of Concurrent Mac Authentication Users On A Port; Displaying And Maintaining Mac Authentication - HP 5920 Series Configuration Manual

Offline detect timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for traffic from a user before it regards
•
the user idle. If a user connection has been idle for two consecutive intervals, the device logs the
user out and stops accounting for the user.
• Quiet timer—Sets the interval that the device must wait before it can perform MAC authentication
for a user who has failed MAC authentication. All packets from the MAC address are dropped
during the quiet time. This quiet mechanism prevents repeated authentication from affecting system
performance.
Server timeout timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for a response from a RADIUS server
•
before it regards the RADIUS server unavailable. If the timer expires during MAC authentication,
the user cannot access the network.
To configure MAC authentication timers:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure MAC
authentication timers.
