Enabling and Disabling 802.1X Reauthentication

The following command enables or disables the reauthentication of supplicants (clients) by the switch:
set dot1x reauth {enable | disable}
Reauthentication is enabled by default.
Type the following command to reenable reauthentication of clients:
DWS-1008# set dot1x reauth enable
success: dot1x reauthentication enabled.
Setting the Maximum Number of 802.1X
The following command sets the number of reauthentication attempts that the switch makes before the
supplicant (client) becomes unauthorized:
set dot1x reauth-max number-of-attempts
The default number of reauthentication attempts is 2. You can specify from 1 to 10 attempts. For example,
type the following command to set the number of authentication attempts to 8:
DWS-1008# set dot1x reauth-max 8
success: dot1x max reauth set to 8.
Type the following command to reset the maximum number of reauthorization attempts to the default:
DWS-1008# clear dot1x reauth-max
success: change accepted.
Note: If the number of reauthentications for a wired authentication client is greater than the maximum
number of reauthentications allowed, MSS sends an EAP failure packet to the client and removes the
client from the network.
However, MSS does not remove a wireless client from the network under these circumstances.
