DESCRIPTION
Specify the amount of time before the Switch allows a client MAC address that fails
authentication to try and authenticate again. Maximum time is 3000 seconds.
When a client fails MAC authentication, its MAC address is learned by the MAC address
table with a status of denied. The timeout period you specify here is the time the MAC
address entry stays in the MAC address table until it is cleared. If you specify 0 for the
timeout value, then this entry will not be deleted from the MAC address table.
Note: If the Aging Time in the Switch Setup screen is set to a lower value, then it
supersedes this setting. See
This field displays the port number.
Use this row to make the setting the same for all ports. Use this row first and then make
adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
Select this to permit MAC authentication on this port. You must first allow MAC
authentication on the Switch before configuring it on each port.
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel
to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
