Follow these steps to enable 802.1x re-authentication: 

Enter system view 

 

— 

Enable 802.1x globally 

Required 

By default, 802.1x is disabled 
globally. 

In system view 

dot1x [ interface interface-list ]

Enable 
802.1x for 
specified 
ports 

In port view 

Required 

By default, 802.1x is disabled 
on all ports. 

In system view 

dot1x re-authenticate 
[ interface interface-list ] 

Enable 
802.1x 
re-authenticat
ion on port(s) 

In port view 

dot1x re-authenticate 

Required 

By default, 802.1x 
re-authentication is disabled 
on a port. 

 

To enable 802.1x re-authentication on a port, you must first enable 802.1x globally and on the port. 

 

After 802.1x re-authentication is enabled on the device, the device determines the re-authentication 

interval in one of the following two ways: 

1)  The device uses the value of the Session-timeout attribute field of the Access-Accept packet sent 

by the RADIUS server as the re-authentication interval. 

2)  The device uses the value configured with the dot1x timer reauth-period command as the 

re-authentication interval for access users. 

Note the following: 

During re-authentication, the device always uses the latest re-authentication interval configured, no 

matter which of the above-mentioned two ways is used to determine the re-authentication interval. For 

example, if you configure a re-authentication interval on the device and the device receives an 

Access-Accept packet whose Termination-Action attribute field is 1, the device will ultimately use the 

value of the Session-timeout attribute field as the re-authentication interval. 

The following introduces how to configure the 802.1x re-authentication timer on the device.
