Mac-Authentication User-Name-Format - HP 6125XLG Command Reference Manual

Quiet timer—Sets the interval that the device must wait before it can perform MAC authentication
•
for a user who has failed MAC authentication. All packets from the MAC address are dropped
during the quiet time. This quiet mechanism prevents repeated authentication from affecting system
performance.
• Server timeout timer—Sets the interval that the device waits for a response from a RADIUS server
before it regards the RADIUS server unavailable. If the timer expires during MAC authentication,
the user cannot access the network.
