Usage Guidelines

When the authentication server maintained by the device turns to the Up state, the device triggers re-authentication for users already added to the critical VLAN. If the authentication is successful, the users exit the critical VLAN. However, if the re-authentication fails due to reasons such as the fault of the access user's client, the repeated re-authentication degrades the device performance. After the maximum number of re-authentication attempts is set for users in the critical VLAN, the device forces the user to exit the critical VLAN if the user fails the authentication the specified number of times.

Example

# Set the maximum number of re-authentication attempts for users in the critical VLAN to 5 on GE0/0/1.
