Configuring Centralized
MAC Address
Authentication Timers
Centralized MAC address authentication timers include:
Offline-detect: Sets the time interval for the Switch to detect whether the user is
offline. When the Switch detects that the user is offline, it notifies the RADIUS
server immediately, and the server stops charging the user from that address.
Quiet: If the authentication to the user fails, the Switch needs a period of quiet
time (set by the quiet timer) before it re-authenticates. The Switch does not
authenticate during the quiet time.
Server-timeout: During the authentication to the user, if the connection between
the Switch and the RADIUS server times out, the Switch denies the user’s access to
the network on corresponding ports.
Perform the following configuration in System View.
