Re-Authenticating a Port

You can configure the authenticator for periodic re-authentication.

After the supplicant has been authenticated, and the port has been authorized, you can configure the authenticator to re-authenticate the supplicant periodically. If you enable re-authentication, the supplicant is required to re-authenticate every 3600 seconds, but you can configure this interval. You can configure a maximum number of re-authentications as well.

To configure re-authentication time settings, use the following commands.

  • Configure the authenticator to periodically re-authenticate the supplicant. INTERFACE mode dot1x reauthentication [interval] seconds The range is from 1 to 31536000. The default is 3600.
  • Configure the maximum number of times that the supplicant can be re-authenticated. INTERFACE mode dot1x reauth-max number The range is from 1 to 10. The default is 2.

Example of Re-Authenticating a Port and Verifying the Configuration

The bold lines show that re-authentication is enabled and the new maximum and re-authentication time period.
