The router can also be configured to periodically trigger the authentication procedure
automatically. This is controlled by the enable re-authentication and reauth-period parameters.
Reauth-period indicates the period in seconds (since the last time that the authorization state was
confirmed) before a new authentication procedure is started. The range of reauth-period is 1 —
9000 seconds (the default is 3600 seconds, one hour). Note that the port stays in an authorized
state during the re-authentication procedure.
