AOS-CX MAC Auth - Session-timeout vs client-inactivity timeout

    Posted Oct 25, 2021 07:36 PM
    Does anyone know the difference between these two commands?

    Trying to find the best approach to not disconnect a printer that isn't generating traffic.

    session-timeout:
    Configures the session timeout for the role. After the timeout period, the session will be disconnected.

    client-inactivity timeout
    Configures the period that the switch waits for a response from a client after which it removes the client
    from the role.

    AFAIK, client-inactivity timeout  is used when you want to automatically disconnect the client if it is idle, for the configured amount of time while session-timeout is used when you want to disconnect them irrespective of the client being idle or passing traffic  after the configure amount of time.
