Hello i would like if someone coud explain me how does this work on aruba central
I got an option on aruba central
The manual says that but i dont understand completely and i would like if someone can enlight me a bit on this
Enter the maximum time in Day(s): Hour(s): Minute(s) format for which a client session remains active. The default value is 0:8:00. When the session expires, the users must re-authenticate.
If MAC caching is enabled, the users are allowed or denied access based on the MAC address of the connective device.
Let say i got user visitor 1
I would like to know what would be the difference between using mac caching or not using it
Because as i look in the manual it says that if i configure the session time out for 8 hours, the user wont need to reauthenticate until the 8 hours. So now if the session time out is working like this why do i need mac caching?
SEcond question
if the visitor 1, his ticket is for 4 days and i active the mac caching he will not need to authenticate at all in those 4 days?
How long does this mac caching work? i can control that time in clearpass but i dont know how does this work here
Anyone?
Cheers
Carlos
