Enabling the periodic online user reauthentication feature

Periodic online user reauthentication tracks the connection status of online clients, and updates the authorization attributes assigned by the server. The attributes include the ACL, VLAN, and user profile-based QoS. The reauthentication interval is user configurable.

The server-assigned session timeout timer (Session-Timeout attribute) and termination action (Termination-Action attribute) can affect the periodic online user reauthentication feature. To display the server-assigned Session-Timeout and Termination-Action attributes, use the display dot1x connection command (see Security Command Reference).

Support for the assignment of Session-Timeout and Termination-Action attributes depends on the server model.
