Setting EAP Retransmission Attempts 535
To reenable WEP rekeying, type the following command:
WX1200# set dot1x wep-rekey enable
success: wep rekeying enabled
Configuring the Interval for WEP Rekeying
The following command sets the interval for rotating the WEP broadcast
and multicast keys:
set dot1x wep-rekey-period seconds
The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). You can set the interval from
30 to 1,641,600 seconds (19 days). For example, type the following
command to set the WEP-rekey period to 900 seconds:
WX1200# set dot1x wep-rekey-period 900
success: dot1x wep-rekey-period set to 900
Setting EAP
Retransmission
Attempts
The following command sets the maximum number of times the WX
switch retransmits an 802.1X-encapsulated EAP request to the supplicant
(client) before it times out the authentication session:
set dot1x max-req number-of-retransmissions
The default number of retransmissions is 2. You can specify from 0 to 10
retransmit attempts. For example, type the following command to set the
maximum number of retransmission attempts to 3:
WX1200# set dot1x max-req 3
success: dot1x max request set to 3.
To reset the number of retransmission attempts to the default setting,
type the following command:
WX1200# clear dot1x max-req
success: change accepted.
To support SSIDs that have both 802.1X and static WEP clients, MSS
sends a maximum of two ID requests, even if this parameter is set to a
higher value. Setting the parameter to a higher value does affect all other
types of EAP messages.
The amount of time MSS waits before it retransmits an
802.1X-encapsulated EAP request to the supplicant is the same number
of seconds as one of the following timeouts:
