Enhancements
Release R.11.24 through R.11.25 Enhancements
Enhancement (PR_0000011010) — Support is added for Hitless MAC Authentication
Reauth. For more information, see “Hitless MAC Authentication Reauth” on page 52.
Hitless MAC Authentication Reauth
The reauthentication procedure has been changed to allow an authenticated client to remain
authenticated while reauthentication occurs. Previously, after the user-configured authentication
period expired, the client was deauthenticated while the RADIUS server was queried. This resulted
in a small delay during which frames were dropped.
Any changes in RADIUS attributes are applied after authentication is successful. If authentication is
not successful, the client is disconnected.
Release R.11.24 through R.11.25 Enhancements
No enhancements, software fixes only.
Syntax: aaa port-access mac-based <port-list> [reauth-period <0-9999999>]
Specifies the time period, in seconds, after which the switch must reauthenticate
with the RADIUS server. When set to 0 (zero), reauthentication is disabled.
Default: 0 seconds (disabled)
