Transmit Period(secs) - This field displays the configured transmit period for the selected port. The
transmit period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on the

guest Vlan ID is a value of 0 to 3965.
Guest VLAN Period(secs) - This field displays the configured guest Vlan period for the selected port.
The guest Vlan period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the GuestVlan Authentication.
The guest Vlan period is a number in the range of 1 and 300.
Supplicant Timeout(secs) - This field displays the configured supplicant timeout for the selected
port. The supplicant timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state
machine on this port to timeout the supplicant. The supplicant timeout is a value in the range of 1 to
65535.
Server Timeout(secs) - This field displays the configured server timeout for the selected port. The
server timeout is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator on this port to timeout
the authentication server. The server timeout is a value in the range of 1 to 65535.
Maximum Requests - This field displays the configured maximum requests for the selected port. The
maximum requests value is the maximum number of times the authenticator state machine on this
port will retransmit an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity before timing out the supplicant. The maximum
requests value is in the range of 1 to 10.
Reauthentication Period(secs) - This field displays the configured reauthentication period for the
selected port. The reauthentication period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the
authenticator state machine on this port to determine when reauthentication of the supplicant takes
place. The reauthentication period is a value in the range of 1 to 65535.
Reauthentication Enabled - This field displays if reauthentication is enabled on the selected port.
This is a configurable field. The possible values are 'true' and 'false'. If the value is 'true'

dictates the degree to which protocol exchanges take place between Supplicant and Authenticator.
This affects whether the unauthorized controlled port exerts control over communication in both

only the reception of incoming frames). This field is not configurable on some platforms.
