Dot1X Retry-Version-Max - 3Com 5500-EI PWR Reference Manual

After a switch sends an authentication request packet to a user, it sends another authentication request
packet if it does not receive response from the user after a specific period of time. If the switch still
receives no response when the configured maximum number of authentication request transmission
attempts is reached, it stops sending requests to the user. This command applies to all ports.
Related commands: display dot1x.
Examples
# Specify the maximum number of times that the switch sends authentication request packets to be 9.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] dot1x retry 9

dot1x retry-version-max

Syntax
dot1x retry-version-max max-retry-version-value
undo dot1x retry-version-max
View
System view
Parameters
max-retry-version-value: Maximum number of times that a switch sends version request packets to a
user. This argument ranges from 1 to 10.
Description
Use the dot1x retry-version-max command to set the maximum number of times that a switch sends
version request packets to a user.
Use the undo dot1x retry-version-max command to revert to the default value.
By default, a switch sends version request packets to a user for up to 3 times.
After a switch sends a version request packet to a user, it sends another version request packet if it
does receive response from the user after a specific period of time (as determined by the client version
request timer). When the number set by this command has reached and there is still no response from
the user, the switch continues the following authentication procedures without sending version requests.
This command applies to all the ports with the version checking function enabled.
Related commands: display dot1x, dot1x timer.
