This is the value that is displayed on the PWA login success
page as the redirect time.
If a user, using PWA enhanced mode, enters a URL of
'http://enterasys.com' prior to being presented with the PWA
login page and then successfully authenticates into the network
they would be presented with a login success page that displays
'Welcome to the Network. Completing network connections.
You will be redirected to http://enterasys.com in
approximately 30 seconds'.
An end-station that is utilizing the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) as a means of obtaining an IP address will take
some time to transition from the temporary IP address issued by
PWA, as part of the authentication process, to the official IP
address issued by the network.
etsysPwaSystemEnhancedModeRefreshTime provides a configurable
time period for the end-stations on a given switch to complete
the process of obtaining their official IP addresses and to
begin using them. The default value of 30 seconds has been
shown to be adequate in most environments. In some networks
this time period may need to be longer, and in other networks
it could be shorter.
In networks that only use static IP addresses a time period on
the order of 5 to 10 seconds may be sufficient. A period of
less than 5 seconds is not recommended as there is a slight
delay after a successful login before the switch transitions
the port to forwarding.
