### White-List Settings

Table 5: Sample Configuration Data
Item Name | Description
--- | ---
session-timeout | Specify a timer value (in seconds) to be configured on the switch when a device is successfully authenticated. When the timer expires, the device is reset to unauthenticated state. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Default is 65535. When set to zero, nodes are always in authenticated state because no timer is configured on switches. This value is used when a security policy for a device does not have Schedule. This value may be preceded by a Schedule's End Date / Time. This value is used as it is when the interval between the successful authentication and a scheduled End Date / Time is less than 65535 seconds. If the interval between the successful authentication and a scheduled End Date / Time is larger than or equals to 65535 seconds, actual timeout is set to 65535 seconds.
