The identity request timeout timer sets both the identity request interval for the multicast trigger and the
identity request timeout interval for the unicast trigger.

Configuration guidelines

Follow these guidelines when you configure the authentication trigger function:
Enable the multicast trigger on a port when the clients attached to the port cannot send EAPOL-Start
•
packets to initiate 802.1X authentication.

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the username request
timeout timer.
3. Enter Ethernet interface view.
4. Enable an authentication

through the port. The implementation of a mandatory authentication domain enhances the flexibility of
802.1X access control deployment.
