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 65535.

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.
