Configuring 802.1X Port-Based Authentication
This example shows how to configure a switch to derive the reauthentication period from the server and
to verify the configuration:
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50):
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface f7/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# dot1x pae authenticator
Switch(config-if)# authentication timer reauthenticate server
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show dot1x interface f7/1 det
Dot1x Info for FastEthernet7/11

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46) or earlier
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface f7/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# dot1x pae authenticator
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout reauth-attempts server
