Use this command to set the maximum number of seconds an authenticated session may last before termination of the session.
| dot1x | IEEE 802.1X Port-based network access control. |
| mac | MAC authentication. |
| web-based | Web-based authentication. |
| convergence-endpoint | Convergence-endpoint authentication. |
| timeout | Number of seconds before session timeout (range 0-172800). |
0 seconds.
A value of zero may be superseded by a session timeout value provided by the authenticating server. For example, if a session is authenticated by a RADIUS server, that server may encode a session-timeout attribute in its authentication response.
The specifications from this command appear in show configuration {module-name} {detail} for "policy" and "netlogin."
If you want to scale to 65,000 authenticated users, use a session timeout value of at least 300 minutes.
The following example shows how to set the session-timeout value for an active session, for mac authentication to 500 seconds:
configure netlogin session-timeout mac 500
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 16.1.
The convergence-endpoint option was added in ExtremeXOS 22.5.
This command is available on ExtremeSwitching 5320, 5420, 5520, and 5720 series switches.
