D-Link DXS-1210-12TC Reference Manual page 27

Usage Guideline
Under the multi-host mode, specify an interface ID to initialize a specific port.
Under the multi-auth mode, specify a MAC address to initialize a specific MAC address.
Example
This example shows how to initialize the authenticator state machine on Ethernet port 1/0/1.
Switch# dot1x initialize interface eth 1/0/1
Switch#
3-7 dot1x max-req
This command is used to configure the maximum number of times that the backend authentication
state machine will retransmit an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) request frame to the
supplicant before restarting the authentication processUse the no form of this command to revert to
the default setting.
dot1x max-req TIMES
no dot1x max-req
Parameters
TIMES
Default
By default, this value is 2.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration Mode.
Command Default Level
Level: 12.
Usage Guideline
The command is only available for physical port interface configuration. If no response to an
authentication request from the supplicant within the timeout period (specified by the dot1x timeout
tx-period SECONDS command) the Switch will retransmit the request. This command is used to
specify the number of retransmissions.
Example
This example shows how to configure the maximum number of retries on Ethernet port 1/0/1 to be 3.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#interface eth 1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# dot1x max-req 3
Switch(config-if)#
3-8 dot1x pae authenticator
This command is used to configure a specific port as an IEEE 802.1X port access entity (PAE)
authenticator. Use the no form of this command to disable the port as an IEEE 802.1X authenticator.
DXS-1210 Series Smart Managed Switch CLI Reference Guide
Specifies the number of times that the Switch retransmits an EAP
frame to the supplicant before restarting the authentication process.
The range is 1 to 10.
