Parameters
max-retry-value: Specifies the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a
client. The value range is 1 to 10.
Usage guidelines
After the network access device sends an authentication request to a client, if the device receives no
response from the client within the username request timeout timer (set with the dot1x timer tx-period
tx-period-value command for the EAP-Request/Identity packet) or the client timeout timer (set with the
dot1x timer supp-timeout supp-timeout-value command for the EAP-Request MD5 Challenge packet), the
device retransmits the authentication request. The network access device stops retransmitting the request,
if it has made the maximum number of request transmission attempts but still received no response.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a client to 9.
