User Guidelines
•
During the quiet period, the device does not accept or initiate authentication requests.
•
The default value of this command should only be changed to adjust for unusual
circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with certain clients
and authentication servers.
•
To provide a faster response time to the user, a smaller number than the default value should
be entered.
Examples
The following example sets the number of seconds that the device remains in the quiet state
following a failed authentication exchange to 3600.
Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e16
Console(config-if)# dot1x timeout quiet-period 3600
dot1x timeout tx-period
The dot1x timeout tx-period Interface Configuration mode command sets the number of
seconds that the device waits for a response to an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-
request/identity frame from the client before resending the request. To return to the default
configuration, use the no form of this command.
