The User Idle Timeout: When a user is idle without any communication with the LAP for the amount of time set as User Idle Timeout, the client is deauthenticated by the WLC. The client has to reauthenticate and reassociate to the WLC. It is used in situations where a client can drop out from its associated LAP without notifying the LAP. This can occur if the battery goes dead on the client or the client associates move away. Note: In order to access ARP and User Idle Timeout on the WLC GUI , go to the Controller menu. Choose General from the left-hand side to find the ARP and User Idle Timeout fields. The Session Timeout is the maximum time for a client session with the WLC. After this time, WLC de-authenticates the client, and the client goes through the whole authentication (re-authentication) process again. This is a part of a security precaution to rotate the encryption keys. If you
