Parameter Description
l Do SNMP bounce: This option will bounce the switch port or force an 802.1X
reauthentication (both done using SNMP). Bouncing the port triggers a new
802.1X/MAC authentication request by the client. If the audit server already has the
posture token and attributes associated with this client in its cache, it returns the
token and the attributes to Policy Manager.
l Trigger RADIUS CoA action: This option sends a RADIUS CoA command to the
network device.
