Enabling MAC authentication offline detection

About MAC authentication offline detection

This feature logs a user out of the device if the device does not receive any packets from the user within the offline detect timer. The device also requests to stop accounting for the user at the same time. For more information about the offline detect timer, see "Configuring MAC authentication timers."

Disabling this feature disables the device from inspecting the online user status.
