Description
Use the
dot1x
timer
command to set a specified 802.1x timer.
Use the
undo dot1x
timer
command to resume the default value of a specified 802.1x
timer.
During an 802.1x authentication process, multiple timers are triggered to ensure that
the supplicant systems, the authenticator systems, and the Authentication servers
interact with each other in an arranged way. To make authentications being processed
in a desired way, you can use the
dot1x
timer
command to set values for these timers
as needed. This may be necessary in certain situations or for some tough network
environments. Normally, the defaults are recommended. (Note that some timers cannot
be adjusted.)
