when it comes to authenticating wired eap users when radius server is down, there are two methods in Aruba documentation:
1- Critical authentication
2- cached-reauth authorized
any one can explain the difference between the two methods? it sees one of them for newly connected users while server is down (critical authentication) and the other is for already authenticated users when it comes for re-authentication (cached-reauth authorized)
so if I have no reauthentication configured for eap in switch port:
1- is there any benefit for "cached-reauth authorized"
2- what will happen to authenticated users? they'll keep connected and authenticated as long as they keep their connection up?
3- for new users, is it only "critical authentication" that matters?
Thank you,
