    Hello,

    I've a problem with a very old switch HPE 1920 48G. I've configured 802.1x with EAP-TLS certificate authentication and eveything seemed fine but some users randomly have connection issues. I've checked NPS logs and I noticed that users connected to that switch reauthenticate every 120 seconds but sometimes the authentication fails for timeout and they are disconnected. 

    Users connected to newer switches authenticate just one time at logon and have no problems. So, my question is: how can I tell to HPE 1920 to keep 802.1x sessions active without reauthenticate every two minutes? I've checked the configuration but found nothing.

    Thanks
    EDIT: Solved. I've changed the "Port control" parameter from "Mac Based" to "Port based" and now the 802.1x authentication works fine
