By default, this feature is disabled. The device logs off online 802.1X users if no authentication server is reachable for 802.1X reauthentication, either manually or periodically.

Use the keep-online feature according to the actual network condition.

In a fast-recovery network, you can use the keep-online feature to prevent 802.1X users from coming online and going offline frequently.
