Parameter
max-retry-value: Specifies the maximum times an Ethernet switch can retransmit the
authentication request frame to the supplicant, ranging from 1 to 10.
By default, the value is 2, that is, the switch can retransmit the authentication request
frame to the supplicant for 2 times.
Description
Use the dot1x retry command to configure the maximum times an Ethernet switch can
retransmit the authentication request frame to the supplicant.
Use the undo dot1x retry command to restore the default maximum retransmission
time.
After the switch has transmitted authentication request frame to the user for the first
time, if no user response is received during the specified time-range, the switch will
re-transmit authentication request to the user. This command is used for specifying
how many times the switch can re-transmit the authentication request frame to the
supplicant. When the time is 1, the switch is configured to transmit authentication
request frame only once. 2 indicates that the switch is configured to transmit
authentication request frame once again when no response is received for the first time
and so on. This command has effect on all the port after configuration.
Related command: display dot1x.
Example
# Configure the current device to transmit authentication request frame to the user for
no more than 9 times.
[Quidway] dot1x retry 9
