The authentication timer pre-authen-aging command configures the aging time for pre-connection user entries.
The undo authentication timer pre-authen-aging command restores the default aging time for pre-connection user entries.
By default, the aging time for pre-connection user entries is 23 hours.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| aging-time | Specifies the aging time. |
The value is an integer that ranges from 0 or 60 to 4294860, in seconds. The value 0 indicates that the entry does not age. |
Usage Scenario
When a pre-connection is established between the device and a user, the device creates the pre-connection user entry. If the user still fails to be authenticated when the user aging time expires, the user entry is deleted.
The pre-connection user entries share device resources with the entries of the users who are authenticated. If there are excess pre-connection user entries, other users fail to be authenticated. To solve this problem, run the authentication timer pre-authen-aging command to reduce the aging time for the pre-connection user entries. In addition, if the time that the pre-connection users have network access policies should be extended, you can run this command to increase the aging time for the pre-connection user entries.
