Reauthentication
Reauthentication of 802.1X wireless supplicants (clients) is enabled on
the WX switch by default. By default, the WX switch waits 3600 seconds
(1 hour) between authentication attempts. You can disable
reauthentication or change the defaults.

(1 hour) between authentication attempts. You can disable
reauthentication or change the defaults.
You also can use the RADIUS session-timeout attribute to set the
reauthentication timeout for a specific client. In this case, MSS uses the
timeout that has the lower value. If the session-timeout is set to fewer
seconds than the global reauthentication timeout, MSS uses the
session-timeout for the client. However, if the global reauthentication
timeout is shorter than the session-timeout, MSS uses the global timeout
instead.
