Description
mode force-
unauth|auto|force-auth
Sets the type of access control for all ports:
force-unauth - the port is unauthorized unconditionally.
auto - the port is unauthorized until it is successfully authorized by the
RADIUS server.
force-auth - the port is authorized unconditionally, allowing all traffic.
The default value is force-auth.
qtperiod <0-65535>
Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits before transmitting an EAP-
Request/ Identity frame to the supplicant (client) after an authentication failure
in the previous round of authentication. The default value is 60 seconds.
txperiod <1-65535>
Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for an EAP-
Response/Identity frame from the supplicant (client) before retransmitting an
EAP-Request/Identity frame. The default value is 30 seconds.
suptmout <1-65535>
Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for an EAP-Response
packet from the supplicant (client) before retransmitting the EAP-Request
packet to the authentication server. The default value is 30 seconds.
svrtmout <1-65535>
Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits for a response from the
Radius server before declaring an authentication timeout. The default value is
30 seconds.
The time interval between transmissions of the RADIUS Access-Request
packet containing the supplicant‘s (client‘s) EAP-Response packet is
determined by the current setting of /cfg/sys/radius/timeout
(default is 3 seconds).

Request packet to the supplicant (client). The default value is 2.
raperiod <1-604800>
Sets the time, in seconds, the authenticator waits before re-authenticating a
supplicant (client) when periodic re-authentication is enabled. The default
value is 3600 seconds.
reauth on|off
Sets the re-authentication status to on or off. The default value is off.
