KVM over IP User Manual
EAPOL Timeout:
Determines the time for retransmission of Request Identity EAPOL frames.
Valid values are in the range 1 to 65535 seconds. This has no effect for MAC-
based ports.
Aging Period:
This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using the Port Security
functionality to secure MAC addresses:
• Single 802.1X
• Multi 802.1X
• MAC-Based Auth.
When the NAS module uses the Port Security module to secure MAC
addresses, the Port Security module needs to check for activity on the MAC
address in question at regular intervals and free resources if no activity is seen
within a given period of time. This parameter controls exactly this period and
can be set to a number between 10 and 1000000 seconds.
If reauthentication is enabled and the port is in an 802.1X-based mode, this is
not so critical, since supplicants that are no longer attached to the port will get
removed upon the next reauthentication, which will fail. But if reauthentication
is not enabled, the only way to free resources is by aging the entries.
For ports in MAC-based Auth. mode, reauthentication doesn't cause direct
communication between the switch and the client, so this will not detect
whether the client is still attached or not, and the only way to free any resources
is to age the entry.
Hold Time:
This setting applies to the following modes, i.e. modes using the Port Security
functionality to secure MAC addresses:
• Single 802.1X
• Multi 802.1X
• MAC-Based Auth.
If a client is denied access - either because the RADIUS server denies the client
access or because the RADIUS server request times out (according to the
timeout specified on the "Configuration→Security→AAA" page) - the client
is put on hold in the Unauthorized state. The hold timer does not count during
an on-going authentication.
In MAC-based Auth. mode, the switch will ignore new frames coming from
the client during the hold time.
The Hold Time can be set to a number between 10 and 1000000 seconds.
RADIUS-Assigned QoS Enabled:
