Server Timeout - 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 - 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' reauthentication will occur. Otherwise, reauthentication will not be allowed.
Control Direction - This displays the control direction for the specified port. The control
direction 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 directions (disabling both incoming and outgoing frames) or
just in the incoming direction (disabling only the reception of incoming frames). This field is
not configurable on some platforms.
Protocol Version - This field displays the protocol version associated with the selected
port. The only possible value is 1, corresponding to the first version of the 802.1x
specification. This field is not configurable.
PAE Capabilities - This field displays the port access entity (PAE) functionality of the
selected port. Possible values are "Authenticator" or "Supplicant". This field is not
configurable.
Authenticator PAE State - This field displays the current state of the authenticator PAE
state machine. Possible values are:
"Initialize"
"Disconnected"
"Connecting"
"Authenticating"
"Authenticated"
"Aborting"
"Held"
"ForceAuthorized"
"ForceUnauthorized".
Backend State - This field displays the current state of the backend authentication state
machine. Possible values are:
"Request"
"Response"
"Success"
"Fail"
