will consider the user having logged off and set the user as logoff state if system
doesn't receive the response from user for consecutive N times.
handshake-period-value: Handshake period. The value ranges from 1 to 1024 in
units of second and defaults to 30.
quiet-period: Specifies the quiet timer. If an 802.1x user has not passed the
authentication, the Authenticator will keep quiet for a while (which is specified by
quiet-period timer) before launching the authentication again. During the quiet
period, the Authenticator does not do anything related to 802.1x authentication.
quiet-period-value: Specifies how long the quiet period is. The value ranges from
10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 60.
server-timeout: Specifies the timeout timer of an Authentication Server. If an
Authentication Server has not responded before the specified period expires, the
Authenticator will resend the authentication request.
server-timeout-value: Specifies how long the duration of a timeout timer of an
Authentication Server is. The value ranges from 100 to 300 in units of second and
defaults to 100 seconds.
supp-timeout: Specifies the authentication timeout timer of a Supplicant. After
the Authenticator sends Request/Challenge request packet which requests the
MD5 encrypted text, the supp-timeout timer of the Authenticator begins to run. If
the Supplicant does not respond back successfully within the time range set by
this timer, the Authenticator will resend the above packet.
supp-timeout-value: Specifies how long the duration of an authentication timeout
timer of a Supplicant is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second and
defaults to 30.
tx-period: Has two major effects, which are described in detail in the following
section.
Specifies the transmission timeout timer. After the Authenticator sends the
■
Request/Identity request packet which requests the user name or user name
and password together, the tx-period timer of the Authenticator begins to run.
If the Supplicant does not respond back with authentication reply packet
successfully, then the Authenticator will resend the authentication request
packet.
Specifies the interval of multicasting 802.1x request packets periodically. In
■
order to be compatible with clients who do not send EAPoL-Start frames
actively, Switch 8800 Family switches will multicast 802.1x request packets
periodically. The client will respond after receiving these packets. tx-period
specifies the period of multicasting 802.1x request packets.
tx-period-value: Specifies how long the duration of the transmission timeout timer
is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 30.

It is recommended to configure different handshake period value and handshake
timeout times according to the number of users:
