Dot1X Retry - H3C s3100 series Command Manual

Use the undo dot1x quiet-period command to disable the quiet-period timer.
When a user fails to pass the authentication, the authenticator system (such as a H3C series Ethernet
switch) will stay quiet for a period (determined by the quiet-period timer) before it performs another
authentication. During the quiet period, the authenticator system performs no 802.1x authentication of
the user.
By default, the quiet-period timer is disabled.

Example
# Enable the quiet-period timer.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] dot1x quiet-period

dot1x retry

Syntax
dot1x retry max-retry-value
undo dot1x retry
View
System view
Parameter
max-retry-value: Maximum number of times that a switch sends authentication request packets to a
user. This argument ranges from 1 to 10.
Description
Use the dot1x retry command to specify the maximum number of times that a switch sends
authentication request packets to a user.
Use the undo dot1x retry command to revert to the default value.
By default, a switch sends authentication request packets to a user for up to 2 times.
After a switch sends an authentication request packet to a user, it sends another authentication request
packet if it does not receive response from the user after a specific period of time. If the switch still
receives no response when the configured maximum number of authentication request transmission
attempts is reached, it no long sends an authentication request packet to the user. This command
applies to all ports.
Related command: display dot1x.
Example
# Specify the maximum number of times that the switch sends authentication request packets to be 9.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] dot1x retry 9
