Enabling/Disabling a
Quiet-Period Timer
Operation Command
Restore default
undo dot1x timer { handshake-period | quiet-period
settings of the timers
| tx-period | supp-timeout | server-timeout }
This timer begins after the user has passed the
handshake-period:
authentication. After setting handshake-period, system will send the handshake
packet by the period. Suppose the dot1x retry time is configured as N, the system
will consider the user having logged off and set the user as logoff state if system
doesn't receive the response from user for consecutive N times.

units of second and defaults to 15.
: Specify the quiet timer. If an 802.1x user has not passed the
quiet-period
authentication, the Authenticator will keep quiet for a while (which is specified by
timer) before launching the authentication again. During the quiet
quiet-period
period, the Authenticator does not do anything related to 802.1x authentication.
: Specify how long the quiet period is. The value ranges from
quiet-period-value
10 to 120 in units of second and defaults to 60.
: Specify the timeout timer of an Authentication Server. If an
server-timeout
Authentication Server has not responded before the specified period expires, the
Authenticator will resend the authentication request.
server-timeout-value
Authentication Server is. The value ranges from 100 to 300 in units of second and
defaults to 100.
: Specify the authentication timeout timer of a user. After the
supp-timeout
Authenticator sends a Request/Challenge request packet to request the MD5
encrypted text, the supp-timeout timer of the Authenticator begins to run. If the
user does not respond back successfully within the time range set by this timer, the
Authenticator will resend the above packet.
: Specify how long the duration of an authentication
supp-timeout-value
timeout timer of a user is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second, and
defaults to 30.
: Specify the transmission timeout timer. After the Authenticator sends
tx-period
a Request/Identity request packet which requests the user name, or the user name
and password together the tx-period timer of the Authenticator begins to run. If
the user does not respond back successfully with an authentication reply packet,
then the Authenticator will resend the authentication request packet.
: Specify how long the duration of the transmission timeout
tx-period-value
timer is. The value ranges from 10 to 120 in units of second, and defaults to 30.
You can use the following commands to enable/disable a quiet-period timer of an
Authenticator (which can be a Switch 5500G-EI). If an 802.1x user has not passed
the authentication, the Authenticator will keep quiet for a while (which is specified
by
