Security—How to Configure 802.1x EAP Authentication
3. Click the 802.1x EAP Configuration button to display a sub-screen for specific
authentication settings.
4. Check the Enable Reauthentication check box to enable this authentication method.
5. Set the EAP reauthentication period to match the appropriate level of security. A shorter
time interval (~ 30 seconds or longer) provides tighter security on this WLAN’s
wireless connections. A longer interval (5000-9999 seconds) relaxes security on
wireless connections. The reauthentication period setting does not affect a wireless
connection’s throughput. The engaged access port continues to forward traffic during
the reauthentication process.
