Usage guidelines
You can set the client timeout timer to a high value in a low-performance network, set the quiet timer to
a high value in a vulnerable network or a low value for quicker authentication response, or adjust the
server timeout timer to adapt to the performance of different authentication servers. In most cases, the
default settings are sufficient.
The network device uses the following 802.1X timers:
• Handshake timer (handshake-period)—Sets the interval at which the access device sends client
handshake requests to check the online status of a client that has passed authentication. If the
device receives no response after sending the maximum number of handshake requests, it considers
that the client has logged off.
Quiet timer (quiet-period)—Starts when a client fails authentication. The access device must wait
•
the time period before it can process the authentication attempts from the client.
