This command configures the period of time after which the Authenticator attempts to reauthenticate a supplicant on the port. You can specify the timeout value, in seconds, or use the server parameter to get the re-authentication timeout value from the server (for example, RADIUS). The server option specifies that the server-supplied session timeout and session termination-action are used by the Authenticator to reauthenticate a supplicant on the port. The server option is enabled by default. The reauthenticate seconds value range is 1 to 65535.
For reauthentication to happen after the configured or server-provided timeout, the authentication periodic command should have periodic reauthentication enabled (see authentication periodic).
