Setting MultiAuth Idle and Session Timeout for CEP

There is no means of detecting if a Siemens, SIP, or H323 phone goes away other than in the case of a link down. Therefore, if these types of phones are not directly connected to the switch port and the phone goes away, the switch will still see the phone connection and any configured policy will remain on the port. Detected CEPs will be removed from the connection table if they do not send traffic for a time equal to the MultiAuth authentication idle timeout value. CEPs are also removed if the total duration of the session exceeds the time specified in the MultiAuth authentication session timeout.
