Specifies the reauthentication period in seconds. The ranges are 0 and 30-7200 seconds. |

One way to periodically apply Virtual Port Profiles (VPPs) to VM MAC addresses is to configure a reauthentication period. At the end of each reauthentication period, the switch reauthenticates each VM MAC address and applies any updated VPPs.
This command applies to only those VMs that authenticate through RADIUS. Reauthentication is disabled when the reauthentication period is set to 0 seconds. When reauthentication is disabled, the VM MAC address remains authenticated until the FDB entry for that VM expires.
The following command enables RADIUS server reauthentication at 2 minute intervals:
# configure vm-tracking timers reauth-period 120
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 12.5.
This command is available on ExtremeSwitching 5320, 5420, 5520, and 5720 series switches.
