Description
These are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1X standard. They determine
how long the supplicant state machine will wait in a given state. These parameters shouldn't be
modified without an understanding of the supplicant state machine. For more information about
the supplicant state machine, obtain its 802.1X protocol specification.
The parameters are:
• Authentication Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the authenticating or
acquired state without receiving a response from the access point or switch.
• Held Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the held state after failing
authentication.
• Start Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the connecting state before restarting
when there is no response.
• Number of Start Attempts - The number of times the Client restarts before giving up. At that
point, the Client then defaults to the authenticated state, but there will be no network
connectivity because the protocol exchange was never completed.
