Usage guidelines
MAC authentication uses the following timers:
• Offline detect timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for traffic from a user before it regards
the user idle. If a user connection has been idle within the interval, the device logs the user out and
stops accounting for the user.
• Quiet timer—Sets the interval that the device must wait before it can perform MAC authentication
for a user who has failed MAC authentication. All packets from the MAC address are dropped
during the quiet time. This quiet mechanism prevents repeated authentication from affecting system
performance.
• Server timeout timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for a response from a RADIUS server
before it regards the RADIUS server unavailable. If the timer expires during MAC authentication,
the user cannot access the network.
Examples
# Set the server timeout timer to 150 seconds.
