Description
Select the switch unit to configure.
Select a range of ports you wish to configure.
This allows the user to set the number of seconds that the Switch remains in the quiet
state following a failed authentication exchange with the client. The default setting is 60
seconds.
This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the Authenticator
and the client. The default setting is 30 seconds. It is defined in SuppTimeout, IEEE-
802.1X-2001, page 47. The initialization value is used for the awhile timer when timing
out the Supplicant. Its default value is 30 seconds; however, if the type of challenge
involved in the current exchange demands a different value of timeout (for example, if
the challenge requires an action on the part of the user), then the timeout value is
adjusted accordingly. It can be set by management to any value in the range from 1 to
65535 seconds.
This value determines timeout conditions in the exchanges between the Authenticator
and the authentication server. The default setting is 30 seconds.
