defined by the Quiet Period option 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
