2.4.14 (Optional) Enabling the S3700 to Send Handshake Packets to
Online Users
Context
The S3700 can send handshake packets to a Huawei client to detect whether the user is online.
If the client does not support the handshake function, the S3700 will not receive handshake
response packets within the handshake interval. In this case, you need to disable the user
handshake function to prevent the S3700 from disconnecting users by mistake.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
dot1x handshake
The handshake with 802.1x users is enabled.
By default, the S3700 is disabled to send handshake packets to online users.
You can run the dot1x timer command to set the handshake interval.
Step 3 (Optional) Run:dot1x handshake packet-type { request-identity | srp-sha1-part2 }The type
of 802.1x authentication handshake packets is set.
By default, the type of 802.1x authentication handshake packets is request-identity.

2.4.15 (Optional) Setting the Retransmission Count of the
Authentication Request
Context

S3700 retransmits the authentication request to the user. When no response is received when the
authentication request has been sent for the maximum number of times, the S3700 does not
retransmit the authentication request to the user.
Procedure
