dot1x timeout
During the quiet period, the switch does not accept or initiate any authentication requests. If you want
to provide a faster response time to the user, enter a smaller number than the default.
Examples
This example shows how to enable periodic re-authentication and to set the number of seconds between
re-authentication attempts to 4000 seconds:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x reauthentication
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout reauth-period 4000
This example shows how to set the quiet time on the switch to 30 seconds:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 30
This example shows how to set 60 as the number of seconds to wait for a response to an
EAP-request/identity frame from the client before re-transmitting the request:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout tx-period 60
This example shows how to set the switch-to-client retransmission time for the EAP request frame to 25
seconds:
Switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout supp-timeout 25
This example shows how to set the switch-to-authentication server retransmission time to 25 seconds:
Switch(config)# dot1x timeout server-timeout 25
This example shows how to return to the default re-authorization period:
Switch(config-if)# no dot1x timeout reauth-period
You can verify your settings by entering the show dot1x [interface interface-id] privileged EXEC
command.
