Use the following procedure to configure EAPOL security parameters for an individual port.
The following table describes the fields of port-based EAPOL tab.
Variable | Value |
---|---|
PortProtocolVersion | Specifies the EAP Protocol version running on this port. |
PortCapabilities | Specifies the PAE functionality implemented on this port. Always returns dot1xPaePortAuthCapable(0). |
PortInitialize | Initializes the port EAPOL state.
![]() Set this attribute to True to initialize the port EAPOL state. |
PortReauthenticateNow | Reauthenticates the client.
![]() Set this attribute to True to reauthenticate the client. |
PaeState | Specifies the current authenticator PAE state machine state value. |
BackendAuthState | Specifies the current state of the Backend Authentication state machine. |
AdminControlledDirections | Specifies the current value of the administrative controlled directions parameter for the port. Available options are
|
OperControlledDirections | Specifies the current value of the operational controlled directions parameter for the port. |
AuthControlledPortStatus | Specifies the current value of the controlled port status parameter for the port. |
AuthControlledPortControl | Specifies the current value of the controlled port control parameter for the port. Available options are:
|
QuietPeriod | Specifies the current value of the time interval between authentication failure and new authentication start. Value ranges between 0 and 65535 seconds. Default value is 60 seconds. |
TransmitPeriod | Specifies the time period to wait for a response from the supplicant for EAP requests/Identity packets. Value ranges between 0 and 65535 seconds. Default value is 30 seconds. |
Supplicant Timeout | Specifies the time period to wait for a response from the supplicant for all EAP packets except EAP Request/Identity. The default is 30 seconds. The time interval can be between 1 and 65535 seconds. |
ServerTimeout | Specifies the time period to wait for a response from the RADIUS server. The default is 30 seconds. The time interval can be between 1 and 65535 seconds. |
MaximumRequests | Specifies the number of allowed retries while sending packets to the supplicant. The default is 2 seconds. The number of retries can be between 1 and 10. |
ReAuthenticationPeriod | Specifies the time interval between successive reauthentications. The default is 3600 seconds. The time interval can be between 1 and 604800 seconds. |
ReAuthenticationEnabled | Specifies if reauthentication is required.
![]() Set this attribute to True to reauthenticate an existing supplicant at the time interval specified in the ReauthenticationPeriod field. |
KeyTxEnabled | Specifies the value of the KeyTranmissionEnabled constant currently in use by the Authenticator PAE state machine. This always returns a value of False because key transmission is irrelevant. |
LastEapolFrameVersion | Specifies the protocol version number carried in the most recently received EAPOL frame. |
LastEapolFrameSource | Specifies the source MAC address carried in the most recently received EAPOL frame. |
