Force a client re-authentication directly via CLI (EXOS / EOS)

[M_Nees]

Hi,

during a HP (2920) Switching / NAC project i learned that MAC or 802.1x re-authentication can be done directly via switch CLI:

code:

aaa port-access mac-based <
port-list

> reauthenticate

code:

aaa port-access authenticator 

<

port-list

> reauthenticate

This is a nice feature especially you do not have Netsight NAC with NAC Managers "Force Re-auth" button.

In the past everybody uses a hard port link down/up - but the above command is smarter especially you have multi-user on that regarding port.

Is there a similar command for re-authentication available on EXOS / EOS ??

Regards

EOS:
set macauthentication portreauthenticate port-string
Use this command to force an immediate reauthentication of the currently active sessions on one
or more MAC authentication ports.

set dot1x {[enable | disable] | [{init | reauth} [port-string] [indexindex-list]]}
init | reauth Reinitializes one or more access entities or reauthenticates one or moresupplicants.
