Manual Re-Authentication; Optional 802.1X Commands - Avaya G250 Administration

Accessing the Avaya G250/G350 Media Gateway
6. By default, the re-authentication period is 3600 seconds. In other words, if re-authentication
is enabled on a port, the port attempts to re-authenticate the host every 3600 seconds. To
change the re-authentication period, use the set dot1x re-authperiod command,
followed by the length of the new re-authentication period in seconds (0 to 65535). For
example:
G250-001(super)# set port dot1x re-authperiod 10/4 400
G350-001(super)# set port dot1x re-authperiod 6/4 400

Manual re-authentication

You can perform a manual re-authentication at any time. To perform a manual re-authentication,
use the set prt dot1x re-authenticate command, followed by the module and port
number (or range of ports). For example:
G250-001(super)# set port dot1x re-authenticate 10/5-10
G350-001(super)# set port dot1x re-authenticate 6/5-10
When you perform a manual re-authentication, the port or ports attempt to re-authenticate the
host immediately.

Optional 802.1x commands

You can use the following commands to modify 802.1x parameters:
Use the clear dot1x config command to disable 802.1x on the G250/G350 and
●
return to default parameters.
Use the set port dot1x initialize command, followed by the module and port
●
number (or range of ports) to initialize a port or ports.
Use the set dot1x quiet-period command, followed by a time period in seconds (0
●
to 65535), to set the minimum idle time between authentication attempts for all ports on
which 802.1x is enabled.
Use the set port dot1x quiet-period command, followed by the module and port
●
number (or range of ports) and a time period in seconds (0 to 65535), to set the minimum
idle time between authentication attempts for a specific port or ports.
Use the set dot1x tx-period command, followed by a time period in seconds (1 to
●
65535), to set the time internal between attempts to access the Authenticated Station for
all ports on which 802.1x is enabled.
Use the set port dot1x tx-period command, followed by the module and port
●
number (or range of ports) and a time period in seconds (0 to 65535), to set the time
internal between attempts to access the Authenticated Station for a specific port or ports.
