ProCurve Series 2300 and 2500 Switches Release Notes

Enhancements in Release F.05.xx

Configuring Port-Based Access Control (802.1x)

Syntax: aaa port-access authenticator < port-list > (Syntax Continued)

[reauth-period < 1 - 9999999 >]

Sets the period of time after which clients connected

must be re-authenticated. When the timeout is set to 0

the reauthentication is disabled (Default: 0 second)

[unauth-vid < vlan-id >]

Configures an existing static VLAN to be the Unautho-

rized-Client VLAN. This enables you to provide a path

for clients without supplicant software to download the

software and begin an authentication session. Refer to

“802.1x Open VLAN Mode” on page -34.

[auth-vid < vid >

Configures an existing, static VLAN to be the Autho-

rized-Client VLAN. Refer to “802.1x Open VLAN Mode”

on page -34.

[initialize]

On the specified ports, blocks inbound and outbound

traffic and restarts the 802.1x authentication process.

This happens only on ports configured with control auto

and actively operating as 802.1x authenticators. Note:

If a specified port is configured with control authorized

and port-security, and the port has learned an autho-

rized address, the port will remove this address and

learn a new one from the first packet it receives.

[reauthenticate]

Forces reauthentication (unless the authenticator is in

'HELD' state).

[clear-statistics]

Clears authenticator statistics counters.
