Parameters
offline-detect
offline-detect-value
: Sets the offline detect timer, in the range of 60 to 2147483647 seconds.
This 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 for two consecutive intervals, the device logs the user out and stops
accounting for the user.
quiet
quiet-value
: Sets the quiet timer, in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds. This timer sets the interval that
the device must wait before it can perform MAC authentication for a user that 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
server-timeout-value
: Sets the server timeout timer in seconds, in the range of 100 to 300.
This timer sets the interval that the access 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.
