Example

Setting a Period of Time for the Quiet Timer
The dot1x timeout quiet-period command, in Global Configuration mode, sets the number
of seconds that the switch remains in the quiet state following a failed authentication
exchange with the supplicant. The no form of this command resets the period to its default
value.
When the switch cannot authenticate the supplicant, the switch remains idle for a set period of
time, and then tries again. The idle time is determined by the quiet-period value. The reason
for failing to authenticate the supplicant may be an invalid password provided by the
supplicant. You can provide the user a faster response time by specifying a number smaller
than the default.
By default, the Quiet timer period is 60 second.
Command Syntax
device-name(config)#dot1x timeout quiet-period <time>
device-name(config)#no dot1x timeout quiet-period
Argument Description
time The Quiet timer period is a value in range <1–65535>.
Example
device-name(config)#dot1x timeout quiet-period 120
Setting a Period for Communication Timeouts
The dot1x timeout tx-period command, in Global Configuration mode, sets the number of
seconds that the switch waits for a response to an EAP-request/identity frame from the
supplicant before retransmitting the request. The no form of this command resets the period to
its default value of 30 seconds.
The supplicant responds to the EAP-request/identity frame from the switch with an EAP-
response/identity frame. If the switch does not receive this response, it waits for a set period
of time (known as the retransmission time) and then retransmits the frame.
By default, the period for communication timeouts is 30 second.
Command Syntax
device-name(config)#dot1x timeout tx-period <time>
device-name(config)#no dot1x timeout tx-period
Argument Description
time The period for communication timeouts is a value in the range <1–65535>.
