Parameters
max-retry-value: Specifies the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a
client, in the range of 1 to 10.
Description
Use the dot1x retry command to set the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication
request to a client.
Use the undo dot1x retry command to restore the default.
By default, the maximum number of attempts that the device can send an authentication request to a
client is twice.
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) or the client timeout timer (set with the dot1x timer supp-timeout
supp-timeout-value command), 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.
This command applies to all ports of the device.
