Description
Specify whether to enable the quiet timer.
The quiet timer enables the network access device to wait a period of time before
it can process any authentication request from a client that has failed an 802.1X
authentication.
Set the value of the quiet timer.
Set the maximum number of authentication request attempts.
The network access device retransmits an authentication request if it does not
receive a response to the request it has sent to the client within a period of time (set
by the TX Period or the Supplicant Timeout Time value). The network access device
stops retransmitting the request, if it has made the maximum number of request
transmission attempts but has not received a response.
Set the username request timeout timer.
Set the handshake timer.
Set the periodic online user re-authentication timer.
Set the client timeout timer.
