configured together on the same port. Only one security mechanism can be
applied.
2. RADIUS authentication must be activated and configured properly for the
web authentication feature to work properly. (See “Configuring Local/Remote
Logon Authentication” on page 3-53)
3. Web authentication cannot be configured on trunk ports.
Configuring Web Authentication
Web authentication is configured on a per-port basis, however there are four
configurable parameters that apply globally to all ports on the switch.
Command Attributes
• System Authentication Control – Enables Web Authentication for the switch.
(Default: Disabled)
• Session Timeout – Configures how long an authenticated session stays active
before it must re-authenticate itself. (Default: 3600 seconds; Range: 300-3600
seconds)
• Quiet Period – Configures how long a host must wait to attempt authentication
again after it has exceeded the maximum allowable failed login attempts. (Default:
60 seconds; Range: 1-180 seconds)
• Login Attempts – Configures the amount of times a supplicant may attempt and
fail authentication before it must wait the configured quiet period. (Default: 3
attempts; Range: 1-3 attempts)
