Disabling Multiple Hosts; Setting The Quiet Period; Setting The Authenticator-To-Host Retransmission Time For Eap-Request/Identity Frames - Cisco WS-C2948G-GE-TX Configuration Manual

Configuring 802.1x Authentication on the Switch

Disabling Multiple Hosts

You can disable access for multiple users on any port where it is enabled.
To disable acess for multiple users on a specific port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Disable multiple hosts on a specific port.
This example shows how to disable access for multiple hosts on port 1 on module 4:
Console> (enable) set port dot1x 4/1 multiple-host disable
Port 4/1 multiple hosts not allowed.

Setting the Quiet Period

When the authenticator cannot authenticate the host, it remains idle for a set period of time and then tries
again. The idle time is determined by the quiet-period value. (The default is 60 seconds.) You may set
the value from 0–65,535 seconds.
To set the value for the quiet period, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Set the quiet-period value.
This example shows how to set the quiet period to 45 seconds:
Console> (enable) set dot1x quiet-period 45
dot1x quiet-period set to 45 seconds.
Setting the Authenticator-to-Host Retransmission Time for
EAP-Request/Identity Frames
The host notifies the authenticator that it received the EAP-request/identity frame. When the
authenticator does not receive this notification, the authenticator waits a set period of time and then
retransmits the frame. You may set the amount of time that the authenticator waits for notification from
1–65,535 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
To set the authenticator-to-host retransmission time for the EAP-request/identity frames, perform this
task in privileged mode:
Task
Set the authenticator-to-host retransmission time for
EAP-request/identity frames.
