Dot1X Unicast-Trigger - HP 3600 v2 Series Command Reference Manual

Server timeout timer (server-timeout)—Starts when the access device sends a RADIUS
•
Access-Request packet to the authentication server. If no response is received when this timer
expires, the access device retransmits the request to the server.
Client timeout timer (supp-timeout)—Starts when the access device sends an EAP-Request/MD5
•
Challenge packet to a client. If no response is received when this timer expires, the access device
retransmits the request to the client.
Username request timeout timer (tx-period)—Starts when the device sends an EAP-Request/Identity
•
packet to a client in response to an authentication request. If the device receives no response before
this timer expires, it retransmits the request. The timer also sets the interval at which the network
device sends multicast EAP-Request/Identity packets to detect clients that cannot actively request
authentication.

dot1x unicast-trigger

Syntax
dot1x unicast-trigger
undo dot1x unicast-trigger
View
Ethernet interface view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
None
Description
Use the dot1x unicast-trigger command to enable the 802.1X unicast trigger function.
Use the undo dot1x unicast-trigger command to disable the function.
By default, the unicast trigger function is disabled.
The unicast trigger function enables the network access device to initiate 802.1X authentication when it
receives a data frame from an unknown source MAC address. The device sends a unicast Identity
EAP/Request packet to the unknown source MAC address, and retransmits the packet if it has received
no response within a period of time (set with the dot1x timer tx-period command). This process continues
until the maximum number of request attempts (set with the dot1x retry command) is reached.
Related commands: display dot1x, dot1x timer tx-period, and dot1x retry.
Examples
# Enable the unicast trigger function for interface Ethernet 1/0/1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ethernet 1/0/1
