Determining the maximum amount of time before client session termination
Procedure
- The maximum amount of time between step 2 and step 3 is 180 seconds.
- The amount of time between step 3 and step 5 is X seconds.
- The reauthentication in step 8 happens less than 180 seconds after step 7, and step 7 happens in 900 seconds after step 5. The maximum amount of time between step 5 and step 8 is 900 + 180 seconds.
- The time between step 8 and step 9 is X seconds.
- The total time is 180 + X + 900 + 180 + X, which equals 900 +2(180+X) seconds.
NOTE:
The period of 1 to 30 seconds, represented by X, is not a firm time period; the time can vary depending on other 802.1X and web-based/MAC auth parameters.
