Configuring Timeouts

If the supplicant or the authentication server is unresponsive, the authenticator terminates the
authentication process after 30 seconds by default. This amount of time that the authenticator waits for a
response can be configured.

Step Task
1 Terminate the authentication process due to an
unresponsive supplicant.
To terminate the authentication process due to an unresponsive authentication server:
Step Task
1 Terminate the authentication process due to an
unresponsive authentication server.

authentication process for an unresponsive supplicant or server after 15 seconds.
