Setting The Maximum Number Of Concurrent 802.1X Users On A Port; Setting The Maximum Number Of Authentication Request Attempts - H3C S5500-EI Series Security Configuration Manual

Step
2. Specify an access
control method.
Setting the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X
users on a port
You can set the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users for ports individually in Ethernet interface
view or in bulk in system view. If different settings are configured for a port in both views, the setting
configured later takes effect.
To set the maximum number of concurrent 802.1X users on a port:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the maximum
number of concurrent
802.1X users on a
port.
Setting the maximum number of authentication
request attempts
The network access device retransmits an authentication request if it receives no response to the request
it has sent to the client within a period of time (specified by using the dot1x timer tx-period
tx-period-value command or the dot1x timer supp-timeout supp-timeout-value command). The network
access device stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum number of request
transmission attempts but still received no response.
To set the maximum number of authentication request attempts:
Step
1. Enter system view.
