Specifying the period

Syntax

aaa port-access web-based <port-list>

[logoff-period]<60-9999999>]

Specifies the period, in seconds, that the switch enforces for an implicit logoff. This

parameter is equivalent to the MAC age interval in a traditional switch sense. If the

switch does not see activity after a logoff-period interval, the client is returned to its

pre-authentication state. (Default: 300 seconds)

Specifying the number of authentication attempts

Syntax

aaa port-access web-based <port-list> [max-requests]<1-10>]

Specifies the number of authentication attempts that must time-out before

authentication fails. (Default: 2)

Specifying maximum retries

Syntax

aaa port-access web-based <port-list> [max-retries]<1-10>]

Specifies the number of the number of times a client can enter their user name and

password before authentication fails. This allows the reentry of the user name and

password if necessary. (Default: 3)

Specifying the time period

Syntax

aaa port-access web-based <port-list>

[quiet-period]<1-65535>]

Specifies the time period (in seconds) the switch uses before sending an

authentication request for a client that failed authentication. (Default: 60 seconds)
