retries: Specifies the maximum number of attempts for sending an authentication request to a client.
The value range is 1 to 10.
Usage guidelines
The access device retransmits an authentication request to a client in any of the following situations:
•
The device does not receive any responses from the client within the username request timeout
timer. The timer is set by using the dot1x timer tx-period tx-period-value command for the
EAP-Request/Identity packet.
•
The device does not receive any responses from the client within the client timeout timer. The
timer is set by using the dot1x timer supp-timeout supp-timeout-value command for the
EAP-Request/MD5-Challenge packet.
The 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 to 9 for sending an authentication request to a client.
