Interface Configuration
Command Usage
• The re-authentication process verifies the connected client’s user ID and password on the
RADIUS server. During re-authentication, the client remains connected the network and the
process is handled transparently by the dot1x client software. Only if re-authentication fails is
the port blocked.
• The connected client is re-authenticated after the interval specified by the dot1x timeout
re-authperiod command. The default is 3600 seconds.
Example
Console(config)#interface eth 1/2
Console(config-if)#dot1x re-authentication
