Resending EAP. This input field allows you to configure the transmit period for the
selected port. The transmit period is the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the
authenticator state machine on the specified port to determine when to send an EAPOL
EAP Request/Identify frame to the supplicant. The transmit period must be a number in
the range of 1–65535. The default value is 30. Changing the value will not change the
configuration until you click the Apply button.
•
Max EAP Requests. This input field allows you to enter the maximum requests for the
selected port. The maximum requests value is the maximum number of times the
authenticator state machine on this port will retransmit an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity
before timing out the supplicant. The maximum requests value must be in the range of 1–
10. The default value is 2. Changing the value will not change the configuration until you
click the Apply button.

frames). This field is not configurable.

port. The only possible value is 1, corresponding to the first version of the 802.1X
specification. This field is not configurable.
