port-down-authenticated-mac-cleanup

Whether this option is enabled or disabled. If enabled, all authenticated users are de-authenticated if all the ports in the VLAN go down.

reauth-time

The number of seconds an authenticated user remains authenticated. Once this timer expires, the user must re-authenticate.

If a user is inactive, the number of seconds a user has before the user-associated MAC address is aged out. The user will be forced to re-authenticate.

  • "Custom Text" means the message for the page has been customized. The custom text is also displayed.
  • "Default Text" means the default message that ships with the FastIron switch is used.

The actual text on the Web Authentication pages can be displayed using the show webauth vlan <vlan-id> webpage command. Refer to Displaying Text for Web Authentication Pages.

The authentication status and the number of hosts in each state.

The show webauth command by itself displays information for all VLANs on which Web Authentication is enabled. The show webauth vlan vlan-id vlan-id command displays information for a specific VLAN.
