Syntax Definitions

retries
Defaults
By default, the number of retries is set to 2.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6400, 6850, 6850E, 6855, 9000E
Usage Guideline
•
The polling interval is 0.5 seconds between each retry.
•
If no EAP frames are received from a device connected to an 802.1x port, the device is considered a
non-802.1x client (non-supplicant).
•
Specify 0 for the number of retries to bypass polling attempts and automatically classify the device
connected to the 802.1x port as a non-supplicant.
•
Any devices previously authenticated on the port remain authenticated; however, re-authentication will
not occur.
•
If a guest VLAN is configured on the 802.1x port, the non-802.1x client is assigned to the guest
VLAN. If a guest VLAN does not exist, the device is blocked from accessing the 802.1x port.
